Bows

Important update: This bow maker (as described below) Master Guo Cheng Min has joint our company - Beijing Xian Meng Musical P/L - ChineseViolins.com since 2011 and moved to Beijing, to make the top quality bows for our customers. All bows made for our customers are by Master Guo since 1995.

Lu Qing doesn't make bows, however, we recommend Master Guo's bows, we think his bow is the best ones compare to the other bow makers we know in terms of good quality and lower prices.

The bows are 60-65g in weight, some are 67-70g with tiger strips patterns on the stick.

Master Guo makes top quality bows with the best sticks, we are sure that our customers will receive top quality bows.

We have the way to test the bows or sticks without playing the instruments, our bows are worth US$4000-US$5000 in the USA.

The difference between the gold and silver fitted bows is not only the silver and gold, the sticks are a bit different, the maker always uses gold fittings on the better sticks, silver on the other sticks, as everyone knows, we don't really care the fittings value, we care the sticks bouncing, but the maker always makes his top quality bows with gold fittings, that shows not only the bouncing, but also the beauty. However, it doesn't mean the sticks with silver fittings are not good, they actually are very good too, there is only slightly different.
