Yes, the Weichs are easier to Bow than the full reds no doubt. The BCs/BelCantos are far better for bowing as are the Pirastro Orchestra strings as well. Personally, I use and like Belcantos but favor the Pirastro orchestra strings for tone. The new Passione strings are actually fun to play whereas the Belcanto's work as well, just not as much fun.
