Baroque Bows
Saraband Music stocks a number of well-crafted, affordable baroque bows from China and other places for violin, viola, cello, and treble, tenor and bass viols. Transitional bows for the violin family and double bass bows are also available on special order.
Baroque bow prices are typically $200. Occasionally there might be a slightly cheaper or more expensive bow for one reason or another.
Bass viol bows from Lu Mi are $600.
Bows constantly come and go every week. Those pictured have been sold. Typical of stock are:
Top: A violin and a viola bow, round sticks
Middle: Violin bow, hexagonal stick
Bottom: Three cello bows, round sticks
As of June 2026, I finally have a new supplier of good but reasonably priced transitional bows. These will retail for $380 plus postage and insurance which is usually around the $20 including the tube and express post. A typical violin bow (usually around 50-51g) is shown below.
Please enquire about what is in stock now. Photos can be sent to buyers.
