Nice review, @SecondFiddle . I now have two Fiddlerman CF bows. I got my first one about a month after I started playing violin almost four years ago. It's held up very well. My new Fiddlerman Soloist violin that I got for Christmas came with a Fiddlerman CF bow, which seems pretty much the same as my first one, except for having brand new bow hair, of course.

On a related note, over those four years, I put several different types of rosin on my first bow, while on my new bow, so far, I've only put one type of rosin (Petz "Vienna's Best Rosin) on it. I'm interested to see if that will make a difference.
