IIf you are looking for a fashion stunning bow, don't look further. This snakewood bow is a perfect match. Snakewood is stiff, strong and very dense. It generally gives loud sounding. For baroque and viola da gamba bows, snakewood is the most popular choice since 16th century. We started to use it for modern bow making several years ago. The feedbacks from customers are very good, especially for cello and double bass bows. Since its density is so high, a modern style snakewood bow is very heavy.

This Snakewood bow belongs to the Top Model of YITAMUSIC Snakewood Bow Series.Excellent bow, though heavy but very good for snakewood

 

This bow is a selected bow. 100% hand made by one maker in my workshop from beginning till the end. Considering the factors of density, flexibility and grain, I put this bow into top model of YITAMUSIC snakewood bow series. The feeling of this bow in player's hand is very comfortable, good response, easy control and the balance is very precise.   YITAMUSIC Bow WorkShop

YITAMUSIC Snakewood Bow Series Yitamusic snakewood bow series have three quality levels as shown in the following table. Our standard for snakewood bow series is very high and restrict. Those sticks don't meet our requirements are downgraded or discarded. Therefore these models are not for beginners, but for advanced players and upwards.

 

Advanced Model	Top(Best) Model	Master Model
"A" or "AA" Level Snakewood The perfect snakewood bow for professional music school students. This model has the best price performance. Well made snakewood stick, often fitted with sterling silver (occasionally with nickel silver), with an affordable price.

In general, they have impressive snakewood figures, good stiffness, good control and response.	Very Limited. Only a few bows are made each year. This is due to master's limited energy and extremely strictly bow stick choice standard. It is often in baroque or transitional model, with mammoth ivory frog.

R&D

Snakewood (Letterwood), air dry density: 1.2-1.4, the heaviest wood known in the world. It only grows in a few countries in South America, such as Suriname, Guiana and Brazil. The snakewood from Suriname has the best quality. Snakewood is stiff, strong and very dense. It generally gives loud sounding. For baroque and viola da gamba bows, snakewood is the most popular choice. We started to use it for modern bow making several years ago. The feedbacks from customers are very good, especially for cello and double bass bows. Since its density is so high, a modern style snakewood bow is very often over heavy.

Snakewood tends to have many cracks during the air dry processing. Therefore, snakewood used for bow making should be absolutely dry, otherwise, the bow will get some cracks sooner or later. We imported 5 tons of snakewood logs from Suriname six years ago. They are wax sealed for air drying. According to "The Art of Bow Making" by famous bow maker: Joseph Kun, the bow blanks are ready for bow making after aging three years. All the bow blanks we used now have been well air dried.
