Something about bow cases

Friday, June 15, 2012

Do you need a violin bow case, or a cello bow case or cases for other bows that you have. Most players viewing this page had several bows in their collection or they are planning to. Maybe you just put them in your violin, cello case, or wrap and put them in your closet.

A bow case not only provide physical protection, but also keep the bow away from moisture and heat shock. A qualified bow case (bow box) is mostly made from ply wood or such kind of physically stabilized material. The cases are made not air tight but sealed well. The cover and bottom part of the bow cases are actually from one piece to make them good fitted.

The outside and interior of the bow boxes are different, but there is no big function difference, since they provide enough protection and craftsmanship are fine. The metal parts and handles are mostly good enough quality, because these kind of case is light weighted, but they are important for high level bow cases, they need to have a high quality appearance and solid feeling for that market level, but not necessary for the function of the case.

Most natural wood are not suitable for bow case making, it will be more easier to change in shape with time and not able protect the bow well.

Hope to help with people who what to choose a bow case.
