I have a 5 string acoustic Glasser CF fiddle/bow combo. Got it from Fiddlershop a couple of years ago. It sounds okay. Currently, it’s needing new strings as the old ones are starting to sound a bit dull. To me, it doesn’t have the projection that it needs. I purchased it a couple of years ago, so it’d last longer in the Florida Humidity when playing outside. The folks at the jam session said they couldn’t hear it as well as they could my 4 string wooden one, which honestly, it might be for the best so I don’t overpower the other instruments.
It seems to handle pretty good, and it feels good in my hand. It’d probably sound better if I’d change the strings out already LOL
