Need a new violin bow! Very confused - Pls help!

[User112]

Hi all,
DD is at Grade 6 level. I'd to buy a new bow for her Gliga violin. Please can I ask for recommendations for a nice bow that's not too expensive? Budget is around £150, if that's too little, I can spend a bit more.
What are full mounted, half mounted etc?

Any thoughts on these bows greatly appreciated!

Where are you based? I'd recommend a really good independent violin shop in Stamford. These bows need to be trialled before settling down to one really..also another violin store in Cardiff. Let me know.

Hi, thanks for responding. We bought one though a lovely shop who let us try a few for a week!

I see you got one but in case anyone else comes along id agree definitely try a now at a violin shop before buying. Especially if switching from wood to carbon fibre as they are bouncier, lighter and harder to control than wood imho.
