I bought this bow as a temporary reserve bow. The finishing of the bow; the thumb leather is cut very nicely, the frog has a good finish, it does not have a sharp edge. Horse hair is of good quality and does not break easily. The bow handles rather well in romantic, slow pieces, but in my opinion I felt the bow to be not stiff enough when playing fast chord passages(more aggressive style). Overall the bow is more than worth its value, so I would 100% recommend this bow. Price quality is optimal.
