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
