New; Violin Bow; C.F. Iesta; Carbon Bow; 2006; New; This is a carbon bow is a professional grade product. It holds it’s own among the much higher priced bows. This bow has a silver mounted ebony frog and is stamped C. F. Iesta. This carbon bow has a very thin layer of pernambuco laminated to the carbon stick and it looks like a pernambuco bow. The wood laminated to the outside is a quality that would never be used to make a bow. No one will ever know but you and I that this is a carbon bow. This way no good pernambuco is wasted.
