Carbon Fiber Bow Kit Supports The Environment And The Performer

ANAHEIM, Calif.—amaha’s Band & Orchestral Division will debut its CBB-KIT Carbon Fiber Bow Premiere Kit at Winter NAMM 2006. The new kit represents the first opportunity for dealers and artists alike to obtain the full array of Carbon Fiber bows in a comprehensive set.

The Carbon Fiber Bow Premiere Kit includes three CBB-101 Standard model Carbon Fiber Violin Bows, one CBB-103 Intermediate model Carbon Fiber Violin Bow and two CBB-301 Standard model Carbon Fiber Cello Bows in a unique display case.

Ideal for students and professional players alike, carbon fiber bows offer the same feel and playability of Pernambuco bows at considerably lower cost. The natural feel displays the comfort of a wood bow but is resistant to warping due to temperature changes. Yamaha’s Carbon Fiber Bows are perfect for use in any situation, especially those in which musicians would rather not risk using their primary bow, such as playing outdoors or on tour.

The exclusive display case and unique Carbon Fiber Bow collection offers dealers the opportunity to show students, educators and professional players a variety of high-quality Carbon Fiber Bows in one convenient location. With high-quality craftsmanship suited to advanced and professional players, Yamaha Carbon Fiber Bows can also be used with the Silent Electric Violins and Cellos.

“Yamaha Carbon Fiber Bows have helped bring the newest technology to string players at all levels,” says Ken Dattmore, Marketing Manager, Strings, Yamaha Band & Orchestral Division. “The Carbon Fiber Bow Premiere Kit will allow our dealers to have a full complement of models on hand to suit the needs of their customers.”

Yamaha began manufacturing carbon fiber bows in 2003 to help protect the diminishing supplies of Pernambuco wood found in the rainforests of Brazil, demonstrating both corporate and environmental responsibility.
