In the stainless steel version, the S9 sounds and plays just as sensational as in the gold version. In fact, the stainless steel version is even more durable and robust, so that it should survive the next few hundred years of daily music-making in top condition. In fact, we believe that there will be no better bow than an S9 for many generations to come.
