Exclamation Glasser Composite?

I am just curious, after reading the post about the carbon graphite bows, I was just curious on anyone's take on the glasser models. I am looking to purchess a new bow, and I want to buy a carbon graphite, I want to know if glasser is a good way to go, or arcus or something. I would like everyone's opinion.

Thanks,
Michael

It's a good cheap bow - not in the league of Arcus. Nice weight and balance. Virtually indestructible. I get a good sound with mine without much effort.

BTW, the composite bow is a mixture of graphite and fiberglass. The all-graphite Glasser is approx. twice as expensive as the composite.

Here's where I got mine:

Cheapest price I found. I'm a newbie at arco playing, and even I can tell this is a couple notches up from the various cheap glass and wood bows.
