During his studies, he met Vaido Radamus, who trained him in violin making and introduced him to making bows. He later studied bow making with Martin Beilke from 1976 until Beilke\u2019s death in 1979.<\/p>\n<p>After working at Clare Givens Violins from 1978\u20131983, he specialized in bow making and further refined his skills with William Salchow in 1984. He became a member of the American Federation of Violin and Bowmakers in 1985, earned his journeyman\u2019s certificate in 1986, and won a Gold Medal at the Violin Society of America International Competition.<\/p>\n<p>Over his career, Zabinski crafted more than 900 bows, drawing inspiration from French masters such as Eug\u00e8ne Sartory, Dominique Peccatte, and Fran\u00e7ois Xavier Tourte before developing his own distinctive style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sound &amp; Feel:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well-balanced and responsive, this bow offers excellent clarity and control, allowing the player to draw a rich variety of tonal colors and expressive nuances with ease.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Materials:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stick: Pernambuco, Octagonal<\/p>\n<p>Frog: Ebony, Silver mounted with Parisian eye<\/p>\n<p><strong>Specs:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Weight: 60.9 g<\/p>\n<p>Length: 74.4 cm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":45246,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[99,35],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-44633","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-violin-bows-5001-10000","product_cat-violin-bows","entry","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Violin Bow: R.
