Testimonials

Thank you so very much for your kind and knowledgeable work with me in recently selecting the Special Edition/ Schaeffer bow. It is truly a joy to play and worth considerably more than the price. Since I first found you online a few years ago I have been delighted with your personal care and attentiveness. I am glad to have someone that I can refer students and parents to who is trustworthy and has their best musical interests balanced with funds in mind as they consider instruments and bows. Appreciatively, Dave P., Astoria Conservatory in Astoria, OR

Regarding a CodaBow Diamond: This bow is amazing! For the last 2 days I have not been able to put it down. It makes my violin sound so much clearer. I am so glad you told me about it.  I have such a clear and resonant tone.  Thanks so much! -Emilio in Houston, TX

In my extensive research, you were by far the most knowledgeable person that I spoke with about carbon fiber bows.  I will certainly recommend your company to others. -Richard in Westlake, OH

Thank you very much for the GREAT Service. Your Website was the BEST and easy to work through to make the purchase. -Michael G. in Alberta, Canada

You definitely have a knack for matching instruments and players with the right bow. Thanks again for taking the time to educate me on bow dynamics and assisting me in my purchase. -Jay in Pine, CO

Thank you so much for shipping the Coda violin bow that I ordered so promptly!! It was a gift for my son, who is a senior music ed major at CSU, and has wanted the Classic for some time now. I didn't know he was going to be home this weekend but knew it was the perfect time to give him the bow - before school started so he could practice his senior recital with it. I just didn't know if it would arrive in time. Thank you so much! He is thrilled! -Patti M. in Palisade, CO

Got my CodaBow Classic today and am really happy with it.  It is very responsive and playable in any area of the bow.  Frog to tip the tension is true, and balance is surperb.  I also wish to thank you for the nice gift of the quality Tartini rosin.  That, the free shipping and the great price helped me make my decision to buy from Bernstein Violins. Thank you for your excellent service, and I hope we can do business again in the future. -Scott B. of Glendale, CA

I love my new Arcus Cadenza violin bow! It is exquisitely playable and it also draws a rich, beautiful and satisfying sound from my violin. The bow is so responsive that it seems transparent, the usual gap between intention and sound disappears, giving the most direct connection to the instrument possible.  Thanks for matching me up to this bow, It will make my music making so much more enjoyable for years to come. Reed, I really appreciate the intuitive knowledge, intelligence and fresh approach you bring to your business. I would also like to commend Bernd Musing for his brilliant design and craftsmanship. For violin players willing to try something new, Bernd offers a bow which can transcend the usual tradeoffs, for me, this one has it all. Superb! -Bruce R.

Thank you so much for you services. I recieved my Spiccato Arpege violin bow yesterday. It took just 4 days to be delivered to the U.K. Thanks so much also for the rosin, it is amazing quality! I will receommend you to all! -Simon in United Kingdom

Just wanted to tell you that I performed three times last week with the Coda bow on my electric violin.  It was heavenly.   Wonderful balance, resistance and flow.  And the sound was full and rich.    I think that superior rosin may have something to do with it too.   I'm hooked on it.  Thanks for your help and wonderful customer service. Denise in Elmhurst, IL

Regarding an Arcus Cadenza bow: "It's like Zen, like no-bow." -Joachim in Tumecula, CA

Just writing to let you know the CodaBow arrived. I'm quite pleased with it (a great deal in my opinion). I'm also delighted with the rosin that accompanied it. Thanks for getting it to me so efficiently and thank you for the rosin. -Jason in LIttle Rock, AR

Thank you for the quick delivery on the CodaBow.  We appreciate your wonderful service.  -Beth in Winnetka, IL

I just wanted to thank you for the prompt delivery of my daughter's Arcolla Carbon Fiber Bow. She'll receive it in a few weeks for her birthday and I'm sure she'll be excited. I also appreciate the additional surprise of the rosin you enclosed with the bow. She could always use something better than the gritty student rosin she's had for years. Thank you again! I hope she continues with her music so that we can call you again in the near future for an even better bow!  Brenda in Sparks, NV

I love my Arcus Cadenza bow.  Thank you so much for the excellent service.  And the rosin that you sent with it is terrific!  -Carla in Zacatecas, Mexico

I just received the Presto Ovation bow, and WOW!  What a sound compared to my old bow!  It's beautiful and the sound quality is amazing, especially to a recreational player like me!  I just wanted to say thank you for recommending that bow to me!  I love it! -Vince in Punta Gorda, FL
