Leon and Ray Glasser invented and received a U.S. Patent for the Fiberglas™ violin bow in 1962. Their student bows quickly became the standard for the worldwide music industry. They have expanded their line of student bows to include fiberglass, composite and graphite bows. Glasser is the only company in the world successfully producing a full range of student and professional bows for all stringed instruments in all sizes. All Glasser bows are new and improved! The new models (except the basic Fiberglas™, our #299H) come in an exciting variety of colors, and can be customized in most ways imaginable.

There are many synthetic bowmakers in the world. We believe there is only one who makes the best available models. All Glasser bows are completely guaranteed! Ebony frogs are made in Western Germany by Helmut Paulus, the finest bow part manufacturer in the world. The Glasser bows have been improved so the balance points are more perfect than any others on the market. You can buy these with the highest degree of confidence!

All Glasser bows now come with horsehair - synthetic hair is no longer available.
