How to choose
Work through accessories by need, a bow and rosin first, then a shoulder rest or mute as playing develops.
Beginner
A new string player needs a student bow like the Anton Breton AB-100 and a rosin such as Hidersine Rosin Junior to get sound from the instrument at all. Apply rosin lightly before each session and store the bow loosened when not in use.
Intermediate
Players refining tone often upgrade to a carbon fibre bow like the Anton Breton AB-116F, and add a Kun Shoulder Rest for comfort during longer practice. Try a few rosin grades, since softer rosins suit warmer weather and harder rosins suit humid climates.
Expert
Advanced players use mutes such as the Denis Wick range for practice or orchestral colour changes, paired with premium rosins like Pirastro Oliv/Evah for the cleanest response. Keep separate bows for performance and travel, and check horsehair tension regularly under heavy use.
