Hello all. I have been considering purchasing an Inredibow for quite some time now but have been a little leary. I really shouldn't be because of the great...
Hi Bill, Good questions. I just wrote a lot on this. I am going to refer you to my website if you would like to read more. It is www.celts-cauldron.com...
Welcome Betty! We are happy to have you and just jump in on the conversations and threads in the group as you like. Or, just be a lurker if you prefer....
Wow, very good article and review!! This is exactly the information I was looking for. I too am using Eudoxa strings and I am wanting to try the Olivs at my...
You know, I wouldn't know about the Glassers. I have about 10 of them in the shop, some with synthetic hair, some with horse hair, but I have never touched...
I just wonder how the rest of the string section would look at me if I pulled an Incredibow from my case and used it at a rehearsal:) I guess at the price...
Hi Synergy, I think the bottom line is, what does it matter what anyone else thinks you look like. The average non-musician isn't going to notice if you are...
Thanks Cliff, The thumb rest I am referring to would be the "thumb grip" in search of other words. On a standard bow, this would be the leather grip along...
Hello Synergy, Yes, the demand for the Incredibows is nothing less than . . . well, without trying to make a pun . . . incredible! Ed has hardly been able to...
Ed, have you given up on sleep altogether?! I just got the featherweight bow from you (great idea packing it in a length of PVC pipe for shipping), ahead of...
Wow, that is amazing that it got there so fast. Ed must have given up sleep on that one. It's a good thing Mrs. Incredibow is there to make him take a break...
Betty - thanks for the feedback - consider yourself lucky to get a bow so soon from us. Once in a great while we get an extra bow made up - like a duplicate ...
Thanks, Cliff, for the good information below. I may put it in the new info packet we're getting together to include with each bow. And will appreciate the ...
I received my ultralight Incredibow yesterday, pretty much exactly a month after placing my order. The minute I got home from work I broke it out, rosined it...
Thanks, Sara, for the feedback. We can breathe a sigh of relief! We are always wondering how each Incredibow will be received and responses like yours give...
Hi, I've was very excited to receive my first Incredibow one week ago. Thanks very much Ed for your excellant service! I bought a featherweight violin bow with...
Terri: we're learning over time that the rosining of the bow makes a great difference in how it sounds; too much rosin and it dampens, does not grab well, more...
Hi Terri, As a new violinist, you have a lot of adjusting to do. Often, discovering the finesse of a bow--or a fine instrument--won't come until you are a...
Hi Terri, Your Incredibow may be telling you that you need to change your strings. How long has your present set of strings been on your violin? I had just...
Hi - I've also received the graphite standard weight bow from Cliff (pre-tactile ref. grip model), and was looking at it and the featherweight I just received...
Hi Betty, The naked graphite was a bow created prior to the tactile reference grip. The hair is lower to the stick because the all round grips are smaller,...
Hi All, This is my first post to the group. I have been playing the violin for about four months and I am learning slowly as I do not have much time to...
Hi all, been using my incredibow for six months and I love it. It took some getting used to at first - a slight change of grip slightly higher on the stick and...
Keith - the bow is warranted - did you get a standard weight bow? We suspect the weight we installed to add more weight has somehow become loosened in one end...
Hello Terri, Bow springiness is a good thing. Without it, you could not do advanced techniques such as spiccato. I suspect that your technique needs...
Hi Ed , many thanks for your prompt reply. Mine was a standard weight bow so it may be as you said that the weight has come loose. the rattle seems to come...
Looking forward to recieving new cello incredibow. I have made cellos out of wood and also out of carbon fiber. I can not help but think that it might be a...
Thanks for your note, mudclumps. We're getting close to creating your bow, still working on some earlier orders. We'll keep in mind your need for a tight...
I gave my two new Incredibow violin bows (featherweight with tactile ref. grip, and standard weight graphite round grip) a good workout this weekend at several...
I have found that the first couple of days the bows' performance is a little irregular. Sometimes very smooth and loud, sometimes low volume, sometimes...
