An Important Note About Caring for/Handling Bows:
Especially when under tension, a simple rap against a hard surface (like the post of a music stand) can easily break a bow. Bumping into a bow that is perched on the lip of a music stand is also a common “maker of unhappy bassists” — the bow hits the floor, and suddenly the stick is in two pieces. We really hate taking those phone calls — it makes us sad, as such a tragedy can be easily avoided, but also, parents of younger players who deny they did anything (would you expect them to fess up?) often incorrectly blame the bow.
Put simply, a bow that “snaps” from a seemingly innocuous rap against a chair leg is not a sign of a “defective” bow, any more than shattering a glass vase by grazing a marble countertop would be considered the fault of the vase. This is why we don’t have a Warranty on bows, unless there is a clear factory fault.
We STRONGLY recommend that you (and/or your bass-playing children) exercise prudent, responsible handling of ANY wooden bow, whether bought from us or not. A wooden bow is a fragile musical instrument in and of itself, and should be treated with the same care afforded the bass.
