CUSTOM WVS MODELS MADE ESPECIALLY FOR OUR SHOP
We currently have four models of composite bows that we have worked with our manufacturer to design to our shops specifications. They include our shops custom logo and brand to the stick. We feel that these are the best playing bows for the price point, and by putting our name on them we are putting our reputation behind them as well.
WVS Protégé Carbon-Graphite Violin Bow
The WVS Protégé violin bow is well made, balanced and durable. This violin bow is our most popular introductory composite model and a good choice for beginner to intermediate students. The Wyatt Violin horsehair is good quality, it has a round, composite (carbon fiber-fiberglass) stick, a nickel-silver mounted ebony frog, three-part adjuster and nickel winding with a leather grip.
Sizes: 4/4-1/16
Stamped: {LOGO} WVS Protégé
{LOGO} Wyatt Violin** (Two Star) Braided Carbon Fiber Bow
The Wyatt Violin ** bow combines the latest in woven carbon fiber technology with the performance expected from good pernambuco bows. The Wyatt Violin ** violin bow has a black woven carbon fiber stick, full-lined ebony frog with Parisian eye, 3-part button with eye, thread/wire grip. This bow is a "strong stick" and performs at a level that would make an excellent 2nd bow for an advancing to professional musician...or as a main, durable bow to aid in learning through middle & high school.
Available sizes: 4/4 - 1/8.
Stamped: {LOGO} Wyatt Violin ** or WVS BRAID
Beautifully hand-crafted carbon bows laminated with real Pernambuco wood. The sticks are strong, resilient, and very well balanced. These bows play and sound wonderfully, striking a fine balance between the warm wood sound and brighter carbon sounds. A perfect bow for advancing student. (From Gewa)

“WVS HYBRID”
Pernambuco wood wrapped over a high quality Carbon Fiber bow.
The Wyatt Violin HYBRID bow has a flamed Pernambuco wood wrap over a carbon fiber stick, giving the durability of a fine quality carbon stick with some tonal properties of a Pernambuco wood bow.
Each bow is cosinstent in performance, however, they all perform and sound slightly different. Also a similarity of pernambuco bows.

Full-lined ebony frog with Parisian eye, 3-part button with eye, thread/wire grip.
These bows have such a perfect balance point they feel “lighter” in the hand. Our most popular selling bow with “Step-Up” advancing level instrument purchases.

Our newest addition to our WVS Exclusive line of bows. A true “workhorse”.

Currently available in violin, viola, cello, and bass. 4/4 size only....for now!
A local UMKC professor and soloist says
"This bow does 5 out of 10 things my Lamy does....and it does a couple things my Lamy doesn't"!
