Honestly, I only clicked on this thread because I was curious to know what was making the bow hair bow out, but then saw you were 3 weeks with no response so thought I'd give it a bump and say how's it going now?
<disclaimer... I'm new to arco so just speculating here> Does anyone experience bow hair improving with time after the initial break in? Do people ever switch rosins due to new bow hair that is of different character than the previous? Or is it a lost cause if the hair isn't up to snuff and no rosin will compensate?
I'm guessing after a couple of weeks you've probably done all you can working the rosin in and maybe you have some hair that doesn't suit you and will have to have it redone. If so, bummer
BTW Jason, I've been to your myspace page and really enjoy the fiddle tunes. So far I mainly use the bow for intonation and building left hand strength, but once I can start getting up and down the neck faster and more accurately aspire to play a similar style to yours with drones, double stops and that fiddle tune drive. Thanks for the good tunes and inspiration !
