If this bow don't play and sound like a silver wound bow...

See the violin bow, it looks like it has silver winding on it. So I picked it up. The seller takes returns at shipping cost of buyer, so if the bow don't sound right I will return it.

Sound right?

What's "right"?

By sound, I certainly have heard the difference from a cheap carbon fiber or $40.00 brazil wood stick. Compared to something like a 1,000 pernambuco.

Damaged tip ?

You mean a broken and bad reglued head? A Chinese or Czech bow with a totaled damage?

It looks like a brand new winding on a cheap nickel mounted bow. It could be silver, it could be silver-plated, but it's not original.

The head is broken right through the center and glued poorly.  It is a cheap bow and not worth much of anything, that is to say not worth a good rehair.

$100 is cheap for a good lesson on what not to buy.
