Carbon Fiber, Graphite, and Composite
bows have gained widespread acceptability among musicians as
quality alternatives to wood bows. The creation of a first-rate
composite bow requires as much artistry and craftsmanship
as the traditional wooden bow. These bows have the added
benefit of strength and consistency. The quality and availability of Pernambuco
(the traditional wood used for bow construction) continues to diminish due to the over-cutting of the Brazilian
rainforest. A Composite bow will play as well, if not better than, a wood
bow in
the same price range. Just like wood bows, different
makers of composite bows create their product with
differing results allowing for differences in playing
characteristics. Lashof Violins has one of the
largest selections of in stock composite bows.
A composite material is any material comprised of both
fibers and resin that work together. The fibers, like
fiberglass or graphite (carbon), run through the composite
material like the grains through natural wood. The
resin part of a composite material saturates these fibers
and holds them in place. Without the resins, the composite
material would become just a loose bundle of fibers;
without the fibers there would be no stiffness and
strength properties. Everyday we are surrounded by
examples of composites improving our lives--sailboats,
tennis rackets, skis, golf clubs, bicycles, and fly rods are just a
few examples of products that have been improved through
the use of composite materials.

What
makes Jon Paul Bows the finest carbon composite bows in the
world?
Jon Paul bows are responsive and pull a beautiful
tone. See, feel, and hear the difference.
•
Jon Paul bows are crafted 100% in the U.S.A.
• Each model has a different formula. The combination of
advanced materials and classic design produces the rich
tone of fine wood bows.
• The heads don’t pop off. All Jon Paul bows share a
one-piece molding process, with the silver tip molded into
the bow. Single-piece construction means the stick is
strong from tip to button. You can feel secure playing
your Jon Paul bow indoors, outdoors, or in a cramped
orchestra pit.
• With color infused to the very core of the stick, the
diamond finish is durable and beautiful.
A fine bow deserves beautiful components. Designed by wood
bow makers, Jon Paul bows are crafted with a traditional
French Peccatte/Maline style head. They are fitted with
high-grade materials and are finished in the tradition of
classic bows.

Performance with Panache!
Imagine playing a Coda Bow
that looks, at first glance, to be a Pernambuco bow
reflecting the trademark reddish-brown hues of Pernambuco.
Then imagine that same bow changing color dramatically as
it moves through the light. During a single passage, the
bow will dance through a complete spectrum of colors.
Springing instantly from deep emerald green to glistening
gold, from cool ocean blue to a fiery yellow. The brighter
the light, the more dramatic the change. You must see this
bow to believe it!
