Anyway, back on topic, sort of - the idea of a grip damping the stick hadn't occurred to me. Interesting. I don't play French bows much, but I guess a comparison might be if the frog and stick on a German bow were wrapped in leather - I don't think that would be very nice... seems like it would feel pretty dead and clumsy.

Hey, doesn't your hand dampen the sound of the Stick when you hold the Bow or do we all need our fingers re-graduated to sound its best?
You guys are so overly concerned about the small picture that you overlook the big picture. Give me a Sartory and make it comfortable in my hand and who cares what the grip is doing. It has a Million dollar sound on it's own so now it's down a few sheckles in output.. lol
