            I am looking for a 15" viola. Either a synwin 3001, eastman va 80/100 or a yamaha va5s will be fine. If you have a used one for sale, I am keen on purchasing it.

            Also, I am looking at importing one from US, but the delivery time is a concern.
            Does anybody have any experience importing from US or Germany?

              Hi

              Where can I buy bow for 1/4 size violin? My son’s second hand Synwin student violin’s bow is spoil so need to get a replacement. Is it expensive to get just the bow? Thanks!

                You can go back to Synwin (Marina Sq) to have the bow replaced. I don't really think it is very expensive to change.

                    It's my practice for my kids violin case to always have a spare bow, by the way.
                    \"Just in case\".

                    Some years ago, I remember, you can find fairly acceptable quality small-sized violin bows from Synwin for S$20 each. Good enough to use as \"backup\", in my opinion. The similarly-priced ones from Gramercy were of inconsistent quality.

                    If any of you have a bow that you LOVE the feel of, but it's bowhair has just gradually gotten less and less over use... (\"botak\" bow. haha). Just send it for a re-hair. <http://www.singaporeviolinbow.com/>
