High Performance Bows for High Performance Players

You've worked long and hard to develop your skills and you have a repertoire of advanced techniques. You know what you want to express in your playing. Now, here is the perfect partner that feels your every impulse and responds in-kind. After three years of painstaking development and countless professional trials and tests, the new PRESTO Impulse is born. Meticulous attention to every detail assures that the PRESTO Impulse stands ready to accurately reproduce your every nuance, and nothing more. Splendid tracking ability, superb control and a warm tone allow you to keep your mind, and your heart, on your performance.

When we set out to develop this new bow, we started with a list of "must-haves":
- The bow must feel alive and resilient, just like a fine-quality wood bow
- Weight and balance must be exactly like a traditional bow so that tedious re-learning of bowing techniques would not be necessary
- Each bow must conform to strict manufacturing standards, for consistency; yet, within defined parameters, the blending of carbon resins must be such that a variety of sticks would be made available for audition. In this way, a skilled violinist is able to discover the perfect PRESTO Impulse bow
- Each bow must be fitted and finished by hand, to assure proper operation and hand-feel

We're so confident you'll love the new PRESTO Impulse bow that we invite you to take the PRESTO Impulse bow challenge: Try the new PRESTO Impulse bow against any fine carbon bow on the market today. If you purchase the PRESTO Impulse, and for any reason, you wish to return it, send it back within 30 days and we'll send you a $25 Shar gift certificate for your efforts!

    Great Bow for violinists with skinny arms!

    Im a violin performance major with a tight budget, but needed a good bow to get me through college, recitals, etc. Also considering that arms are very narrow I was searching for something on he lighter end that I could control well. After trying several upper end carbon fiber bows of different makes I just couldnt seem to find one that was a significant enough improvement on my current bow to actually buy it. Many produced too much surface noise or were hard to control. I finally resorted to an in-home bow trial with 2 Presto Impulse bows. After just 30 minutes of playing, I knew Id found it. The bow itself does seem considerably light, but for me, that was just what I was looking for! It produces a better sound on my instrument than my >3000 dollar bow. Thank you Shar! ...

    A BIG disappointment

    I have tried this bow on my Simon Joszef violin through the trial program and it was a rather big disappointment. I thought the overall feel of this one was way too light and it seemed to take lot of work to make a good sound. ... (See Full Review)
