Viola Bows: Müsing vs. Pernambuco vs. Carbon

In this video, Bernd Müsing compares different Pernambuco bows/wood bows with conventional carbon fiber bows and Müsing bows in terms of: weight strength sound playability & response He is testing the bows on three different sized violas: One smaller viola with a string length of 36.5 cm and a very bright, rather flat sound. One large viola with a string length of 38 cm with a full and dark sound, one high-end, middle sized viola with a string length of 37.5 cm with a very beautiful, balanced sound. The Müsing bows offer an affordable alternative to the more expensive Arcus bows. They combine most of the characteristics of Arcus bows, such as their low weight and their extreme strength and durability, but are considerably cheaper and still offer a sound that is in no way inferior to that of a really good Pernambuco bow. They're great for advanced amateurs, advanced students, for professional players on a budget or as a really nice backup bow for traveling and outdoor gigs. 🎻🎻🎻 www.muesing.eu 👉Subscribe to our channel: @ARCUSMuesing 👉Follow us: @ArcusBows / Facebook @arcusbow / Instagram
