PRESTO
Presto® Ovation Carbon Fiber Violin Bow
REVIEW VIDEOS
The Presto® Ovation offers a moderately firm woven carbon fiber stick capable of a big, clear tone and quick response. Exceptional handling at a great value. The balance point lies close to center-tip.
Woven carbon fiber stick. Snakewood frog with silver mountings.
PRESTO® carbon fiber bows have gained a loyal following among players and teachers alike. Combining modern, strong, state-of-the-art materials with traditional handcraft, these bows are as impressive and beautiful to look at as they are to play. Agile handling, arrow-straight tracking and full tonal power are hallmarks of these fine bows. Decidedly stunning in appearance due to the open weave carbon cloth, these bows are far better suited for severe performance conditions than wood bows, including pernambuco. And, as the world's supply of expensive pernambuco wood disappears, PRESTO® bows deliver more performance for your dollar than any fine bow on the market today. PRESTO® bows are only made with aerospace-grade fibers and resins. The engineering process guarantees longevity by eliminating "creep," a flaw in carbon-fiber manufacture that can warp a bow or diminish camber over time. All bows are thoroughly inspected, meaning only bows with the best craftsmanship are sent to our customers.

Fast delivery, good quality
Bow arrived in good condition, appears new and is nice looking. It is straight, stiff and tracks well. Wt is comparable to my Marco Raposo pernambuco bow and noticeably heavier than my Arcus Sinfonia. The tone it draws from my 2005 Shan Jiang is somehow more strident and less pleasing than my other two bows. Ease of play is not as good as the Arcus and tone quality not as warm/even as the Raposo. Price is very good and the bow is certainly a good value, but it is not an upgrade from my current bows. I am a self taught country fiddler with years of playing behind me but I have distinct technical limits. This bow might be fine for an advancing student and I’m sure a trained player could get a lot more out of it than I can. I will do one more playing test with my daughter-who has a great ear-listening and will probably end up returning this bow and asking Shar for a trial of other carbon fiber bows.
Just received my new bow. The bow is very nice and I hope it will roll over to making me a better violinist……that may be too much to expect from the bow. Thank you. Alan
I was looking for a lighter weight bow in order to do more fiddling. After talking to a rep, I decided on this one. I was not disappointed with this presto ovation bow. I really love it. It handles well and glides easily over my strings, making fiddling easier.
I received my bow and I was soooooo impressed. You definitely get more than you pay for. Couldn't have been more happy with my first Shar Music Product!
