2 glasser bows GLASSER HORSEHAIR BOWS Glasser Bows Inc. has improved their standard line of Fibreglas Bows, and created new models as well! All bows now feature new frogs with metal under-slides, and a more durable coating system. Colored sticks and colored horsehair are also available on all models except the basic Fibreglas Bow (our number 299H). All Glasser bows now come with horsehair - synthetic hair is no longer available.

Here are a few more facts: All Glasser bows have a limited lifetime warranty! What other bows make that claim? None! Utilizing new molding technology, Glasser bows have improved flexibility and balance point on all models. Ebony frogs are made in Germany by Helmut Paulus, the finest bow part manufacturer in the world. Except for the ebony frogs, these are all MADE IN NORTH AMERICA. This helps us all! There are many synthetic bowmakers in the world. We believe there is only one who makes the best available models. That is why we sell Glasser bows. You can buy these with the highest degree of confidence! Don t be mislead by slightly lower priced imported bows - Glasser means quality and true value!! GLASSER BOW RECONDITIONING PROGRAM - Giving New Life To Old Bows R201H-4/4 Glasser Bows will restore any model of their old bows to like new condition for a fraction of the cost of a new bow! Reconditioned bows have a brown finish to distinguish them from the new bows with black finish. Howard Core Company handles all distribution for the Glasser Reconditioning Program.

9 glasser bows PAGE LAST UPDATED: GLASSER BRAIDED CARBON FIBRE BOWS These superlative models represent the latest in bow technology! Unlike standard composite bows, which are hollow, these bows have a solid core to give them a supplementary even feel and balance. The carbon fibers used to make this bow are woven into a continuous pattern. This creates a seamless bow that carries its fiber patterns down its entire length just as the grain of a wood bow is carried down its entire length. Glasser uses a natural finish, rather than paint, to showcase the aesthetic beauty of this bow s interwoven design. The bows feature deluxe ebony Paulus frogs made in Germany. The frogs are nickel, silver and gold-mounted and have the highest quality goldfish abalone pearl slide and large eye. Please look at this bow carefully! Note the new finish, the finely shaped head, the German silver tip, the German ebony frog, the strength and the balance. These patented braided carbon fiber bows are the ideal choice for expert players! no. description $-list nickel mounted MAP 2005BCF Violin. Round stick BCFK Violin. Octagon stick BCF Viola.
