Abstract
A bow for a stringed musical instrument comprises resilient strips of bamboo, wood, or other wood-like materials, bonded together to form laminated layers. The principal layers are a central core layer, a top layer bonded to a top side of the core layer and a bottom layer bonded to a bottom side of the core layer. Each layer consists of one or more strips. The layers extend longitudinally along the shaft and are oriented perpendicularly to a plane that runs through a central axis of the shaft and a central axis of the hair of the bow. The top layer and the bottom layer preferably each comprise at least one strip of bamboo. The bamboo layers can produce the desired physical and playing characteristics that resemble those made with traditional exotic wood materials. It is beneficial to use bamboo as it is an organic, biodegradable, inexpensive and readily available material.
