Okay that makes sense. I understand I have cheap black hair on my bow and it sounds scratchy, and it does lose a lot of hair. Maybe I'll go with better quality white hair next time. Though I have had good tones from my bow recently. Would humidity really affect the tone as drastically as it does with my bow? Or maybe...I'm guessing, if I had good quality hair on my bow I wouldn't have tonal differences with humidity changes. It's the only conclusion I can come up with, I've tried different resins, I've tried cleaning the bow and reapplying fresh resin, yet still somedays I'll have a gorgeous tone and others a real buzzy sound. I just don't get it.
