Dorfler bows are hand crafted in Germany, using precious and exquisite materials in order to guarantee master performance and technical ability. Pernambuco wood is used predominantly in their workshops, as it constantly fulfils the demands of exact bending and greatest possible tension at the ideal weight. Simply for Strings’ team of professional players and teachers hand-select each bow to exacting criteria, including examining the hair, camber of the bow and the bow’s ability and sound across different techniques. Simply for Strings is an authorised stockist of Dorfler Bows, proudly offering an extensive selection for violin, viola, cello and double bass players.

This bow, while weighing less than some of its Drfler counterparts, feels slightly heavier in the hand. This lends itself to feeling planted and tracking well along the string during legato playing. Bouncing bow strokes are sharp and articulated. This bow is suited for those beginning to play more advanced repertoire, or players seeking a bow that feels particularly stable in the string.

At Simply for Strings, each bow is hand-selected to exacting criteria, including examining the hair, camber of the bow and the bow’s ability and sound across different techniques.

Please note, each bow is unique and handcrafted your new bow may look slightly different to the photograph used.
