Each bow is designed for smooth balance, easy handling, and a full tone – ideal for students developing their technique.

The right bow for your 1/2 violin

A 1/2- size violin bow is shorter and lighter than the standard 4/4-size bow. This size is suitable for children aged approximately 7 to 9. A well-balanced bow makes it easier to bow with a relaxed arm and produce a pure tone. Our collection offers both classic wooden models and modern carbon bows that can withstand rough use – perfect for everyday use and music lessons.

Find your ideal 1/2 violin bow

Our half-size violin bows combine quality, ease of use, and excellent value. Whether you're looking for a replacement bow or a second one for rehearsals, we have the right choice for every young violinist.

Frequently Asked Questions about Half Violin Bows

What does 1/2 mean on a violin bow?

A 1/2 violin bow is designed for a violin that is half the standard size (4/4). This size is ideal for children aged about 7 to 9. The bow is shorter and lighter, which provides greater control and comfort.

What's better for children: a wooden or a carbon bow?

A wooden bow produces a warm, natural sound, while a carbon bow is lighter and sturdier – ideal for young players who practice daily. Carbon is less sensitive to temperature and humidity, making it easy to maintain.

How do I choose the right bow for my 1/2 violin?

Consider the length, weight, and balance. The bow should fit comfortably in the hand and respond smoothly to the player's movements. For children, a well-balanced, light bow is essential for learning to bow in a relaxed manner without strain on the arm.

How do I maintain a 1/2 violin bow?

Always use good-quality rosin and remove any remaining rosin with a soft cloth after each use. Store the bow in a violin case and have the hair replaced regularly by a luthier for optimal playing pleasure.
