    I went through the usual progression - fiberglass, a $150 wooden bow, and then thought I'd be happy with the Finale Carbon bow, but after a few years, I want something else so this is for sale.

    I believe these go for around $350 new and come with a hard case, which I still have.

    Note that I don't play much, and I play arco even less, so this hasn't seen much use and it still works fine.

    I took it to my repair guy yesterday because I was bringing in a student's bow, and he said my bow was still in fine shape and that if I didn't like the way it sounded, it meant just that, that I ought to get a different bow, so that's what I intend to do. I'm not sure, for how often I play it, whether I'm going to go with something less or more expensive, but I'm definitely going back to a wooden bow.

    $200 or best offer, and if you don't like it after a week or two, I'm happy to take it back as long as you're responsible for the postage.

    Thanks.

    Four people have asked about this already - if any of those don't work out, I'll post again, otherwise it's probably safe to assume this is going to be sold to one of those four.

    Thanks very much.
