A Wonderful Bow and Outstanding Customer Service
I couldn't be happier with my Fiddlerman Performance bow!
Before purchasing, I had a lengthy conversation with Christian at Fiddlershop about several different bows. What impressed me most was his honesty and knowledge. He took the time to explain the differences between the options, discussed their strengths and limitations, and gave me genuinely helpful advice rather than simply trying to sell me the most expensive bow. That kind of customer service is rare, and I really appreciated it.
When the bow arrived, I was delighted with its feel, balance, and control. But the real surprise came when I played it on my primary French violin.
The difference was remarkable. My violin began producing a smoother, sweeter, more refined sound, while the strings became clearer and more responsive. Most astonishingly, the E string, which I had previously struggled to make sound good despite trying several different strings, suddenly became absolutely beautiful. With this bow, it produces the deeply expressive tone I had been chasing (I'm using the Warchal Amber set).
This experience taught me firsthand how much the right bow can matter. It's not simply about getting a louder or brighter sound; it's about finding a bow that works naturally with your particular violin and allows its voice to come through.
The Fiddlerman Performance has given me a combination of control, responsiveness, sweetness, and emotional depth that I had been searching for. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
A wonderful bow, backed by outstanding customer service. Thank you, Christian, and thank you, Fiddlershop!
