Bows.

String instrument bows are essential tools used to produce sound on stringed instruments like the violin, cello, double bass, and viola. The bow consists of several parts, each contributing to the technique and sound quality produced when playing these instruments.

Traditional bows are often made from Pernambuco, a rare and expensive wood from Brazil, known for its flexibility and strength. Brazilwood, which is a more affordable alternative, is also common. Synthetic materials like carbon fiber are also popular today, offering durability and lighter weight.

The bow is strung with horsehair - typically from the tail of a horse, which is stretched tightly along the length of the stick. The horsehair makes contact with the strings, producing sound when the bow is drawn across them. The number of hairs varies, but typically there are between 150 and 200.

The frog is usually made from materials like ebony, plastic, or tortoiseshell, while the tip is often made from ivory or synthetic substitutes.
