United StatesGreat bow
As always, great experience with Fiddlershop. The Jon Paul bow is excellent, like a prolongation of my arm. Good response and tonality with my violin.
United StatesNot the best of both worlds
I was hoping for a good intermediate bow but sadly this bow is underwhelming. It has good action but the sound produced is thin and reedy. My cheapest carbon fiber pulls a better tone. I wish I had held out for a codabow!
United StatesGreat Bow - Excellent Value
My Fusion weighs 63 grams and I thought that might be a bit too heavy. To my surprise, it plays "easier/handles better" and sounds better than my Coda NX which I sold to a friend (and it weighed 61 grams). If I needed another bow, I'd probably buy another Fusion. I play old time on two fiddles set up with Helicore's on one and Prim's on the other (both medium's) and use Magic Rosin or Kaplan Dark. Great service from the "Fiddlershop" once again and the bow was very well packaged for shipping.
United StatesGreat Bow For The Money
A very nice feeling, nice sounding bow, for a fraction of what a comparable quality wood bow would cost. And, as thin as the Pernambuco veneer is, it definitely adds harmonics and overtones. Very powerful sound when pushed, and tracks very nicely in all registers.
United StatesExcellent Bargain
I play country rock in one band and contemporary/Americana in another — and play bluegrass frequently. My 25-yr-old Czech-made bow is excellent, but I needed a quality second bow to create two complete fiddle kits — one acoustic and one for amplified. I wanted to try carbon fiber and the JonPaul Fusion more than exceeded expectations It’s light, very well balanced and at a fifth of the price, compares favorably with my $1,000 principal bow for the music I play. And, Fiddlershop is a great outfit to do business with.
