I am still trying out bows. I am settling on this 57 gram stiff stick by Guy Laurent. Can you notice how I can slow the tempo, soften the volume and still maintain a decent tone? This bow feels like a tooth pick. I can only image what a professional bow costing $3-4K would be like.

Sounds great!
Where did you get the bow?
What is it made of?
New or old?

Chuck,
Thanks for the link.
Are you familiar with Dorfler bows from Germany? I am considering a new bow and one of this line is interesting.

I had someone caution me about German bows in this price range. They suspect some are being sourced from China and labeled in Germany. Please don't shoot the messeger, but $700 is not an expensive bow.

Hey Chuck:
Just out of curiosity, can you tell us what the other two bows are that you are currently evaluating?
