A good carbon fiber bow is a lot better than the normal student bow, but is no0where as nice as a fine pernambuco bow. And a fine pernambuco bass bow might start at $2000, up to $6K or so. The price of a decent tuba. So the next time you accidentally knock a bass bow to the floor, be prepared to die.
