Howard Core Select 600 Series Carbon/Pernambuco Violin Bow

Core Select 600 Series Violin Bow 

The Core Select 600 Series Violin Bow is a premium hybrid bow featuring a carbon fiber core wrapped in genuine pernambuco covering, combining the structural stability of carbon with the traditional look and feel of fine wood. This construction offers advancing and professional-level players the best of both worlds — the strength, consistency, and warp resistance of carbon, paired with the classic aesthetics and nuanced playing characteristics associated with pernambuco. The bow features a fully lined ebony frog with Parisian eye and a special nickel silver winding, reflecting a higher tier of craftsmanship and finish.

Tonally, the carbon core provides a stable, responsive foundation, while the pernambuco covering contributes warmth and complexity to the sound, offering a more traditional feel under the hand and against the string compared to a purely synthetic bow. This combination supports refined bow control, allowing for detailed articulation, expressive dynamic range, and a polished, professional tone.

Ideal for advancing students, serious amateurs, and professionals seeking the durability of carbon without sacrificing traditional playing feel, the Core Select 600 Series stands apart as a true step-up bow. The nickel silver winding adds both visual elegance and improved balance, supporting confident, expressive playing at a higher level.
