Bows need cases too. The right bow case protects the stick, hair and tip between sessions.
Why bows need cases
Bow hair is fragile and temperature-sensitive. A hard case prevents warping, broken tips and hair damage in travel.
Types
- Single bow case: one bow, hard or padded.
- Double bow case: two bows, common for pros.
- Case compartments: built-in bow holders in violin cases.
What to check
- Length — bows run 72-75 cm (violin).
- Interior clip holds the stick firmly.
- Tip protection at the top.
Ask about bow compartments when ordering violin cases.
