How good is my violin bow?
I recently bought a violin (about $500) and it came with rosin, a case, and a bow. How do I know how good it is? How much would it have cost separately?
A "good bow" depends on what you are looking for in the bow. Bold and snappy to subtle and mellow? Rounded sound or narrow? It depends on what you want. Bows made of wood are generally preferred over synthetic ones, but there are some wooden bows out there that are not so great and some synthetic bows are okay, too.
If you are a beginner, I would suggest that you see a professional - maybe your teacher or at the violin shop you went to? Professionals know what is "best" and they can tell if a certain bow will "allow" you to learn more as a beginner... because every bow has its limits.
I have played the violin for over 12 years but even though I've had a little more experience, I still look for professional help (usually my teacher, because she knows my abilities best) whenever I shop for a violin or bow.
I hope this helps and good luck!
