Yeah people, really, I mean quit spending so much time contributing to Ken's forum; nobody ever learned anything by sharing and discussing their knowledge and ideas with others!

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.
