Bob Berg silver-mounted, carbonfibre violin bow

This silver mounted violin bow is very representative of a number of prototype carbonfibre bows handmade in New Zealand by Bob Berg, an American double bass player in the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Berg later moved to Indiana, USA, where his carbonfibre expertise was refined by William Duff into the modern Berg Bow. This example has excellent playing characteristics, with clear articulation, steadiness in rapid legato strokes and a great bounce.
