Carbon Fiber Carbon is a natural product, but it's used to produce many man-made products - bows being one of the latest. The material is extremely strong, resilient and can be made into a bow stick that has the same spring and response as a good pernumbuco stick, but generally at a fraction of the cost and also without having to cut down yet more trees. Pernumbuco is rapidly becoming an endangered species of wood. Carbon fiber bows are gaining a very good reputation and I know of a lot of professional players (of all bowed string instruments) who are investing in them as a second bow for professional use. Yes they are lighter, but a lot depends on what sort of weight bow you prefer to use. Personally, I think the balance of a bow is far more important than its overall weight. If all the weight is at the tip or badly distributed along the stick, then it will be difficult to control. Carbon fiber bows eliminate this last problem and therefore a £500 carbon fiber bow would be as good a purchase as a £900 pernumbuco bow.
