Prochownik's are around $1500.00 and they're completely hand made by Mike himself. They're good sounding bows, very light and very clean with no cosmetic frills. You actually can't get better for the money if you're looking for JUST a bow, no frills, no fanciness. I also know many professionals who use them, so I wouldn't say they're a student bow just because they cost a 1/4 the price of a Lipkins.
