Frequently Asked Questions about 3/4 Viola Bows
What does 3/4 mean on a viola bow?
A 3/4 viola bow is designed for three-quarter-sized violas. This size is suitable for children aged approximately 9 to 12 and offers the right length and balance for comfortable playing.
What is better: a wooden or a carbon bow?
