Method of fabricating bow stick of stringed instrument and bow stick of stringed instrument

A method of fabricating a hollow bow stick body which is used in a stringed instrument and which is formed of fiber-reinforced plastics, the method comprising:

• winding a prepreg, in which a fiber is impregnated with a resin, on a mandrel having a diameter which gradually decreases toward a distal end to form a semi-fabricated product;
• placing the semi-fabricated product and the mandrel, into a mold;
• molding the semi-fabricated product in a shape corresponding to a cavity formed between the mold and the mandrel by heating and pressurizing the semi-fabricated product in the mold to form a molded product;
• removing the mandrel from the molded product to acquire a long and hollow bow stick body;
• and
• adjusting at least one of a weight distribution, a center of gravity, and a weight of the bow stick body by changing a shape of the cavity using the mandrel of which the diameter or a diameter variation is gradually changed in an axis direction.
