Worth a risk
The stick is just right amount elastic and feels great and alive in the hand. The length of the bow and hair is just perfect in a way that it should suit everybody.
The sound is more complex and rich, not so focused. It has clarity but it is not overly bright. It brings the sound from the depth (there is more of everything) and sounds good in all registers on the bass. Consistent from frog to tip, and of course other way around.
The frog and screw are still in perfect condition and working great after more than 1 year of use.
The width of the hair at the tip of the bow is not great. It is little bit narrow so the hair from tip to frog are not perfectly in line. (Good luthier can make it wider)
The bow hair that comes on the bow is very bad quality and are not put well. They are “here and there”, over crossing each other.
To make it really work great you will need to do the rehair. So there comes extra cost.
Don’t spend too much money on a bow. (Unless you are really sure what do you want)
I tried much more expensive bows and this one outperforms most of them.
Price doesn’t equal quality in this case.
(Manufactured bow are little bit risky investment, especially without trying. Maybe I was lucky, maybe all of them are good)
PS I use Wiedoeft rosin, and also did trial on pops.

Nice sound but…
I love the sound of this bow but using it to practice, my thumb kept slipping through the gap. I assumed it was because it was new, but last night I compared it with my friend’s bow and discovered the gap is much bigger than on her bow! My fingers and thumbs aren’t skinny! I’m going to have to try and sell this and buy another.
