Greatest musiciens all over the world use Carbow. Discover what they say
They come from all walks of life: beginners, enlightened amateurs and professional performers. They express themselves freely. Of course, they talk about their bow(s), our products. But beyond that, they mainly talk about sounds, their music, their sensations, their emotions, their aspirations and sometimes their attachment to Carbow. They talk about their real lives through contact with simple chopsticks which have opened up new perspectives for them. They are our reward.
"I get an all around even tone whether I’m playing acoustic or electric. I can use the Carbow for both ballads and aggressives pieces."
— Régina Carter

— Riccardo Del Fra
French bass bow with a 32mm height frog
"I have been playing string bass for over forty (40) years, and this is the first bow that I have owned that did what I expect and need it to do"
“Dear Olivier, My new Carbow is truly excellent. I'm enjoying it immensely. It's very articulate and has a warm sound and different than anything else I've been using. So many thanks and compliments!”
— Mark Dresser
German bass bow model Barre Phillips
"I admit that until now, I was rather disappointed by the carbon bows, But this new model has a perfect balance and is very pleasant to play, It requires minimum of effort, and this is also it’s strong point, It produces a very beautiful sound, powerful and well timbre. I can only recommend it and in any case encourage you to try it"
"I have been using your Carbow now for over a year and have made it my exclusive bow. The weight distribution is amazingly great and plays evenly from the frog to the tip. I find the control I have with the Carbow to be unmatched by anything I have ever played. It has encouraged me to play more and more arco in all jazz contexts in which I perform"
"The use of new materials has not always been successful in the construction of instruments, especially acoustic ones. But Carbow is not any bow maker, their success is to dare and prove us wrong. Bows that are well balanced, strong and flexible with precision that only carbon can do. It all leads up to the most essential: the sound".

French bass bow 32mm ebony frog, black stick
"I have been using the Carbow for the past six month exclusively. I also own a couple of old Pfretzschner bows which I used for the past 39 years. I find the Carbow just as good and I don't have to worry about breakage when I travel. Congratulations on a great product"
"I discovered Carbow bows for technical constraints during the Paris Orchestra's trip to the USA. It was a very pleasant surprise. The bow reacts perfectly well, with a good grip, very balanced. A favorite, despite the very intense program (3 ballets by Stravinsky)".
