Use a snooker cue holder/carrier as a bow holder/carrier! 
I bete everyone knew that already but I've just brought a snooker cue holder and I've been carrying my bows around with me today! Teehee!

I have a wooden flute that I sometimes carry in a "quiver" that has a shoulder strap and everyone thought it was a billiard cue case. Sure, I'm off to the billiard hall to play the flute....
I can't help but wonder...(in fact I'm nearly afraid to ask), but since you bring it up, do you find you need to have a bow at the ready just in case you come upon a bass?

Just kidding again! I like my bow as well. I shouldn't get on your case like this!

I still haven't found one I really like playing with though, I prefer my horse hair to nylon as the horse hair is weighted and is smoother to play with whereas the nylon is a bit lighter and takes more work! Maybe I'm just lazy? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Atlanta, GA USA | | | My new wooden bow is heavier than the fiberglass one I used at first, but they both had the lighter colored horse hair. (I have a hair fetish.) The hair just takes a little while to break in. I think the wood has a better feel to it too. (Maybe I have a wood fetish also.) I gave the fiberglass one to a guy who didn't have a german bow to try out.
So Kat, do you prefer the German style bow or French?

I've seen some with nice narrow ebony frogs, ... abalone slides, .... pernambucco, osage orange;.... probably fit in that snooker case with the others;.... shall I go on? ....
