The importance of a good bow cannot be overemphasized. My Klaus Uebel bow has served me well, but I began to notice some slight problems with its agility and tone. After looking over several candidates, I upgraded to a heavier (61.3 grams), but better balanced bow, by the French maker Deschamps circa 1925. The stick is round and has a classic French curved ebony frog with an inlaid mother-of-pearl Parisian eye and a silver screw/wrap. This is not my dream bow, but should serve me well for some time to come.
