JonPaul Bows are the finest carbon composite bows in the world. JonPaul bows are responsive and pull a beautiful tone. They inspire confidence and improve a player's skill. See, feel, and hear the difference. JonPaul bows are crafted from start to finish in the U.S.A. Customers enjoy the best guarantee and service and the highest quality bows. The combination of advanced materials and classic design produces the rich tone of fine wood bows. The carbon fibers are "laid out" by hand to mimic the feel and sound of fine pernambuco more successfully than any other carbon fiber bow on the market. The heads don't pop off. All JonPaul bows share a one-piece molding process, with the silver or gold tip molded into the bow. Single-piece construction means the stick is strong from tip to button. You can feel secure playing your JonPaul bow indoors, outdoors, or in a cramped orchestra pit. The color is infused to the very core of the stick, so the diamond finish is durable and beautiful. JonPaul bows rehair like any traditional wood bow. A fine bow deserves beautiful components. Designed by wood bow makers, JonPaul bows are crafted with a traditional French Peccatte/Maline style head. They are fitted with the best materials and are finished in the tradition of classic bows.

Best in its category.

I tried a number of carbon fiber bows at about the same price range, and the JonPaul had the best balance. It also might have been a bit lighter in weight. The shape of the "stick" and the frog felt more comfortable in my hand than the others. Needless to say, you would not find a wooden bow anywhere near the quality for ca. $300.

One of the best graphite cello bows
By Richard A. Wintercorn
I have one other graphite bow which I will not identify and the frog has such a sharp projection near the stick that it irritates my thumb. This bow is well designed, is well ballanced, and the quality is beyond what I expected at the realtively low price.

Great bow
By The Crab
I was looking for a nice carbon bow to upgrade from a cruddy one I had been using for years, but I did not want to sell an arm to get one. This bow is light weight, partially hexagonal (towards the frog), and looks nice! I use Liebenzeller Gold IV cello rosin and the pair produces a warm tone I would expect of a more expensive pernambuco bow (even on an open A string). This bow is great for anyone wanting a better bow for a price anyone can afford. Granted this is a more affordable bow and doesn't fully compare to bows from Steffen Kuhnla, Johannes Finkel, etc, it is certainly in a category higher than the $325 mark!
