The quality control in the crafting of our Modern Line of bows starts with the selection of the indicated wood, straight-grained, and naturally aged and dried for each instrument and persists during the entire hand-made process. Our Modern Bows are available in both French and German styles for any instrument (violin, viola, cello, double bases) and in all sizes: 4/4,3/4,1/2,1/4. We also have gold, silver and nickel mounts, the “John Brasil” name representing our popular nickel line. Of course, the best pernambuco wood demands the best in gold and silver mounts, the best-quality mastodon tips, matching windings and, for example abalone or goldfish slides. We also guaranty the quality of buttons, screws and eyelets, pearlslides and eyes.
