It certainly motivates me, anew, to practice! I am not yet as comfortable with the new bow as I am with my old one, which doesn't help sound production, of course...
I am sure that my nervous system's connections will get used to it, with a couple of weeks of focused work on the right arm/hand.
The bow has such a clear sound that it makes playing higher up on the A and E strings much more appealing; much less muddy there, now, which helps with certain fingering possibilities.
The bow's clarity also points up some left hand issues/slop that I haven't noticed
; the softer, more diffuse sound of my other bow was obscuring some poor technique, I can tell now.
After only a week, it is already kicking my playing (and awareness of my technical shortcomings) up a few notches. I am looking forward to the bow and I really getting used to each other.
