Choosing a bow.
When choosing a bow their are many things to consider. Remember every thing you might ask of your instrument
you can expect the same from your bow. Here are some points you may compare when choosing a bow.
Perception of Weight, most violin bows weigh approx 59 - 62 grams.
In your hand one may feel light and another heavy these may be the same weight but what
you are feeling is the balance. The bow should feel well balanced in your hand.
The size of the head and the taper of the stick plus the leather and silver lapping
all contribute to your perception of weight & balance.
Strength of the stick
A good stiff stick should have the proper camber and will take about 150 hairs.
A less stiff stick will need less hair to work properly.
Comfort at the frog. Different styles of frog and lapping can effect
your grip and how comfortable it is.
Consistency of tone:
The type of rosin you use can effect the tone produced by the bow
The tone should be consistent on long bow strokes. Some bows the
tone changes gradually or suddenly
Loud Dynamics
Some bows seem to play much louder than others, this is a combination
of your bow manship and the built in dynamics of a quality bow.
Plays Softly
You may want to play softly, some may be difficult to play softly
Responsiveness
A good bow will be responsive and will keep up with you when playing
fast passages or spiccato. Too much bounce or too little may be a probem
Overtones and Harmonics:
Listen carefully you will hear different overtones and harmonics from
different bows. You must also have a responsive instrument.
Vibrato
The bow should not inhibit vibrato. Rosin choice may also effect vibrato
Up and Down bow strokes:
Directional changes should not be noticeable. Some bows you may feel a slight kick
particularly when changing direction at the frog end.
