Perfect match for my Baroque violin

By February 15, 2023

I unwrapped your bow and I'm just thrilled!! It's wonderful!

The bow is a perfect match for jacobus stainer copy I use, since it's built in the baroque style and has a light, sweet sound.

And thank you for the treats, too. Cookie cutter... :D !

Love your site, love your energy, love your kindness!

Great service, quality bow

By January 2, 2023

The customer service was great.

I was experiencing technical issues and the owner, Rhiannon was very helpful in solving my problem.

The bow is great quality and handles very well.

Highly recommend.

More affordable than local options

By November 16, 2022

Your Baroque bows do offer a price category I have yet to find locally.

My teacher and I picked this bow

By August 23, 2022

The VN-65 was [my teacher's and my] favorite bow of the three choices (VN-45, Voxy Astute) on trial. It pairs well with the 909.

Baroque feel is unique

By November 17, 2021

I'm a faculty and examiner at the Royal conservatory and wanted students to experience the feel of baroque bow. :)

Thank you for the goodies.

Easy to play, sounds good

By October 5, 2021

The baroque bow arrived safely yesterday. It looks well made.

I tried it a bit last night and it's great, easy to play and sounds good. Thanks!

Big upgrade for me

By September 30, 2021

Thanks Rhiannon, [your info is] very helpful for me! I've decided to take the VN-65. Thanks for the great service!

For use in a Youth Orchestra

By February 20, 2021

My son plays for the Youth Strings Orchestra here in Winnipeg.

I look forward to… shopping from your online store in the future.

Our second violin from this maker

By December 9, 2020

We purchased a Stankov 4/4 for my daughter with a VN-65 bow when she made the transition [to fulll size] in 2016. She is still enjoying it, studying at the University of Western Ontario, and involved in orchestra, etc.

We just purchased another 4/4 Stankov violin, this time for my son who is currently using my daughter's old 3/4 VN-909.

A baroque bow for Christmas

By November 23, 2020

[I bought] a 4/4 Venezia baroque bow for my 12-year-old son for Christmas (it's actually on his Santa list...)

My son has not played with this type of bow before but did a workshop this summer where he was introduced to them. (The other are prettier, but we'll see how he takes to it first!)

For the price, I figured I can't go wrong!

Better tone than my fiberglass bow

By November 16, 2020

The new bow is working out well.

It’s a bit “heavy” as compared to my fiberglass bow, but I think the tone (as much as I need to work on it…) is better with the wood bow.

Outstanding service, price and quality that beats bigger shops

By July 17, 2020

[REVIEW: Facebook, 5 stars] Rhiannon met with me on short notice while I was passing through town. She was very nice to deal with and had multiple bows ready for me to try when I arrived.

This is a far nicer experience than trying violin and bows in a violin shop where there are several customers milling around.

I believe her bows are reasonably priced, most likely more competitively priced than what a [competing] violin shop would sell them for.

I love my new Baroque bow

By July 15, 2019

[REVIEW: Google, 5 stars] I love my Baroque bow from Rhiannon!!

She offers amazing and personalized service.

Love it! Happy with the bow

By April 14, 2019

Many thanks again for all the organising to arrange me having the Baroque bow.
