Alfred Stingl by Höfner AS26K-V4/4 Violin Bow

The bow seems to be well made and I cannot find any faults with it. It seems to be a bit on the heavy side compared to the Dopler D10 or the typical carbon bow, so I find that playing with the Stingl is more work and the bow is not lively in my hand. On the other hand it has more stability being heavier. I believe that the wood is a bit denser, and the sound is warm and solid, and it compares well with more expensive bows. For those who do not mind or prefer a heavier bow and like a warm clear full bodied sound, then this bow is ideal, especially for the price.
