1088 Howard Core Series Fiberglass Violin Bow

1088 Core Series Fiberglass Violin Bow

The 1088 Core Series Fiberglass Violin Bow is a durable, budget-friendly bow made from a black fiberglass stick, designed for beginning violinists of all ages. The fiberglass construction resists warping, humidity changes, and the everyday bumps of student life, making it a practical choice for young players, school programs, and rental fleets. The bow features a fully lined ebony frog with Parisian eye and a three-part button, giving it a polished, traditional look at an accessible price.

Tonally, the fiberglass stick offers a stable, flexible feel that gives beginners enough control to develop proper bow hold, straight bowing, and basic string crossings. While it won't match the projection or nuance of carbon fiber or wood bows, it delivers a clear, playable tone well suited to early learning.

Available in sizes from 4/4 down to 1/16, the 1088 Core Series grows with students and fits every stage of early development. It's ideal for first-time players, instructors outfitting a studio, and parents looking for a reliable, affordable bow. The wire grip provides a secure hold that supports good hand position from the very first lesson.
