viola bows

Viola bows vary in weight from about 67 - 75 grams, with the "normal" range being 69 -74 grams.

The balance point is measured from the end of the adjustment screw, and the normal range is between 240 and 270mm.

Length is usually close to 745mm

We encourage 5 string violin players to try a viola bow, the extra power can be very useful on a 5 string!
