Petz 1095VN 4/4 — Pernambuco Bow for the Advancing Player

This workshop-grade bow brings serious craftsmanship to a full-size violin. Built on an octagonal pernambuco stick, it offers the weight distribution and rebound that intermediate players need. A full-lined ebony frog with Parisian eye, nickel silver-plated fittings, and a three-part screw keep the hardware precise. At 61 g, it sits comfortably in the hand. Made in Austria by PetzVienna.

What to look for in a 4/4 violin bow

Pernambuco is the benchmark wood for bows in this tier, combining stiffness with the flexibility needed for clean string crossings. A defined grip feel comes from the octagonal cross-section, while the ebony frog and silver-plated nickel fittings resist daily wear. A three-part screw lets the player fine-tune hair tension for different repertoire.
