Orion Custom 2025 Snakewood Violin Bow 4/4


Model: 500 Series – 

The Orion OVB500SW is a Custom 2025 model crafted from premium Snakewood, a rare and visually striking hardwood traditionally reserved for baroque-style bows and high-end custom models. This bow brings a unique tonal character to the Orion lineup, offering players a gentler, rounder sound with a graceful feel under the hand.

At a heavier weight of 74.8 grams, the OVB500SW is designed for players who prefer a smooth, grounded glide across the strings, ideal for romantic-era repertoire, expressive phrasing, and slower, more lyrical passages.

Our testing team noted:

  • A more mellow, rounded tone than the Sandalwood model

  • A smoother playing experience, particularly in legato and sustained lines

  • Natural weight that enhances bow control without feeling cumbersome

  • A refined, elegant voice—perfect for chamber, solo, and expressive performance settings

Snakewood’s density and stiffness contribute to the bow’s stability and tone, while its distinctive grain pattern and rich colouring make each OVB500SW a visually stunning, one-of-a-kind piece.

Finished with artisan details:

  • Premium Snakewood stick with natural figured pattern

  • Snakewood frog with mother-of-pearl eye and slide

  • Gold plated fittings

  • High-quality horse hair for consistent tone and durability

The Orion OVB500SW Snakewood Bow is a superb choice for intermediate-advanced students or discerning players seeking a more delicate, expressive tone and a bow that responds gracefully to every nuance.
