Hi Ed and group, I've had 2 Incredibows, violin and cello, for several months and I'm using them for teaching as well as performing as a professional cellist...
Thanks, Ed, for your input. That reinforces the conclusion many musicians have discovered about our hair needing to be rosined less often than horsehair; it...
Thank you, Marcie, for your suggestions. WIth each post, we're picking up some very good added information - collectively, we're going to create a very useful...
Hello everyone. I have recently joined the group as I was particularly interested in the discussions on cleaning the incredibow. I've had mine for a year now...
Over a year ago we had to make a tough decision to increase Incredibow prices by about $50 per bow over what we were selling - after being told by our tax...
WOW! STEEL WOOL - SCOURING PADS - ON BOW HAIR??? INCREDIBLE! THINK YOU COULD DO THAT WITH HORSEHAIR? Thanks, Martin, for your experiences and ideas! I think...
Hi Ed and everyone-I have cello and fiddle Incredibows and I love them-I thought maybe I would have problems when I changed to gut cello strings but that was...
Good Evening to All! This is Carolyn from Incredibow and I'm writing to welcome you to our Group. We appreciate your interest in our bow and we also welcome...
... Coming in a bit late... I rosin my Incredibow when I notice it's starting to get a bit too slippery. That works out to about once every fourteen or...
Sara - thanks for your input. Your experience and feedback is really helpful. So glad to hear from folks like yourself with extended experience with our...
I clean the hair using (believe it or not) silver polish, which is much superior in cleaning both hair and strings I think the new Incredibows are much...
As my Grandmother used to say, "Carolina, listen to me, now!". <Fond rememberances are so sweet>. Well, tomorrow is Mother's Day and so, all you HUSBANDS,...
About 18 months ago, I started using Thomastik Vision Strings on my violin because the specs on the strings indicated that they had a significantly greater...
I am also a big fan of Vision strings. I much prefer the Vision Titanium. Although half again as costly as the regular Visions, they really make a violin come...
... I haven't tried the Vision Titanium yet, but had been thinking about it. Cost is not a huge concern, since I only restring my violin two or three times a...
From what I remember, wasn't it also only the E string which was actually made using Titanium? _____ From: Barclay Family [mailto:barclay@...] Sent:...
According to the manufacturer (http://www.thomastik- infeld.com/strings/index.html), the E string is "multi-layer steel wire, tin plated, removeable ball end."...
I have wondered why they call them "titanium," when there seems to be little or no actual titanium used in the string. I did think the e string was titanium...
This is great information. I think I'll spring for a set of Evah Pirazzis and see how the whole set works with my Incredibow(s). And then mix and match as...
Since my initial question about hair cleaning, I've carefully rerosined by bow and I thought I'd post an update. I'm afraid the news isn't too good though. I...
... <snip for brevity> ... Judging from your comments, I may be able to offer some advice based on my own experience. I can see at least two places where you...
Ben - it looks like you've been very patient and have had more than your share of problems with your Incredibow. And we have been impressed and appreciative...
When I initially started using my incredibow (about 3 years ago) I found the same problem that you are having. I discovered that if I did not bow at a 90...
Speaking of E strings, Wondertone has come out with the Wondertone Solo E. It is billed as, “Made of a new material that improves significantly the ...
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'll definitely work my way through these first before putting Ed through the trouble of sending out a new bow. Sara, your...
Ben - most musicians report our hair grips the strings BETTER than horsehair does - so it sounds like there's something wrong with the hair. Let us send you...
... Yikes. I wish I could, but I have dyspraxia and trying to explain around that isn't easy. (Think dyslexia that affects fine motor control instead of...
A funny thing happened to me today while playing, which seems to go along with recent comments about the angle at which the hair intersects the strings: My...
Hi all: I just received a couple of adjustable Incredibows. Of course, I had them out of the shipping tube and was rosining them up within five minutes even...
