You really are out of your mind. There are no bows made of metal. Those student bows are made of fiberglass or composite carbon materials, NOT metal! I really don't know how you could possibly believe there is such a thing as a metal bow. Very pathetic.

there is no such thing as metal bow. and there is as well no such thing as wooden bow are for advanced players. (probably what she's doing is convince us how advance she is. but she isn't) and this video title should be changed cause she didn't tell use how to use a bow.

@NukleheadMcSpazatron Yes, you're right. And in another video titled "Scales for beginners" she just plays on the open strings, which are out of tune. She doesn't even know what things are called.

Why is this video titled: How to Use a Violin Bow ???

All she did was tell us parts of the bow, not how to use it.

Haha! I really wanted her to just snap the bow while she was over-tightening it.

Good bows are made of pernambuco; student bows are made of brazilwood or fiberglass. Carbon fiber bows are taking an increasing share of the market and can range from quite good to pretty bad. I have never seen a metal bow, can't imagine that it would play very well. I'm not sure what your fixation with mahogany is; it isn't used to make either violins or bows although it does make some pretty nice furniture.
