Looking to upgrade your bow? The Dorfler No.17 violin bow is an excellent bow for an advancing player. The perfectly balanced Pernambuco stick is octagonal in shape and sits perfectly in your hand.

Producing a bow this good takes time - 30 years to be exact. This is how long the specially selected best Pernambuco stick is dried and aged for, ensuring the highest quality of bow. And when combined with the natural white hair from selected steppe horses in Central Asia, you can rest assured that your Dorfler bow will stand out from the rest.

It's the attention to detail that makes the Dorfler No.17 special. Boasting a nickel silver-lined Ebony frog with a heel plate, a three-piece screw, nickel silver winding, and a stunning large eye, the No.17 violin bow really does make a statement.

Dorfler also recognises the responsibility of using natural resources during the bow manufacturing process. This is why they support reforestation projections of Pernambuco trees, and are a proud member of the I.P.C.I organisation who are committed to the sustainability and reforestation of this precious type of tree
