Hello everyone,
Im planning to buy bow,and i can't decide which one...
I would like to get best for the price,but since i don't know anything about bows,i want your opinion.
Here are links of bows:
I can't buy yew,because i don't have enough money.
Just scroll page and you'll see english text.
ebay.com/itm/FLAGELLA-DEI...item1c1489b852
Im left-handed.
Which one would you recommend?
Every comment is welcome

I wouldn't buy a bow unseen and untried.
If you look at some of those bows the tiller is awful. With others you are not even seeing a picture of the bow you will be getting, they say they will be made to order.
I have seen some OK bows from Eastern European makers bought on E-bay, I have also seen some rubbish.
Caveat emptor.
I would never even sell a bow on E-bay, never mind buy one.
Go and see a bowyer.

I never said any were good, merely OK and I don't know which they specifically were, they were just bows shown to me or brought to me for tuning that were bought off E-bay.
My advice is don't buy without trying. Find a bowyer and visit them. There are plenty of good amateur bowyers and if you take the trouble to visit, you will get what you want and be able to try bows.
