Pinchas Zukerman - CBB-107PZ

The latest additions to our line of highly regarded carbon fiber bows are two new signature models, designed in direct collaboration with each artist.

Carbon fiber bows have the same feel and playability of Pernambuco bows at a fraction of the cost, and provide musicians a more durable and consistent material than wood. The bows come close to matching the characteristics of wood, but changes in weather, temperature, or humidity have little effect on carbon fiber, making it highly stable and perfect for use in any situation – especially those in which musicians would rather not risk using their primary bow, such as when playing outdoors or on tour. The bows are great alternatives that can be used with confidence in any musical setting.

Pinchas Zukerman is one of the most highly regarded and sought after violin soloists in the world. His attention to the intricate details of the bow design process was guided by the desire to produce a bow for the professional violinist, and those in professional studies."Modern technology and modern materials in bow making is the future," states Zukerman."Yamaha has a great vision of industry and player needs. This signature bow has good resonance, is durable and versatile." A heavier bow at 64 grams, the Zukerman signature bow features a simulated tortoiseshell frog and gold plated fittings.
