Howard Core Select 400 Series Fiberglass Viola Bow

Core Select 400 Series Viola Bow

The Core Select 400 Series Viola Bow is a budget-friendly option crafted from a brown fiberglass weave stick, offering a lightweight, low-maintenance alternative for beginning violists. The fiberglass construction provides good durability and resistance to warping, making it a practical choice for young players and school rental programs where cost and resilience matter most. The bow features a full-lined ebony frog and a 3-part button with eye, giving it a clean, classic appearance despite its economical build.

Tonally, the fiberglass weave stick offers a lighter, more flexible feel than carbon fiber or graphite bows, providing enough control for beginners to develop basic bow hold, straight bowing, and simple string crossings. While it won't offer the same projection or nuance as higher-tier bows, it delivers a functional, playable tone suited to early learning stages.

Ideal for first-time students, rental programs, and budget-conscious buyers, the Core Select 400 Series provides an accessible entry point into viola bowing. The thread and wire grip offers a comfortable, secure hold to support proper hand position from the start.
