New member here... hello, everyone! I've been reading a lot here at this site the past couple of days. Very interesting. I have a couple of bowed psalteries. A...
I too play the bowed psaltery. A violin bow would be too huge for this, I think! What you could probably do is send your old bow in to be rehaired with ...
Rachel, I don't think my bow could be re-strung with incredihair. It's the kind of bow that has a hank of hair tied in a knot at each end, not the nice flat...
Hi, Peggy. I went through a similar experience with my psaltery. The original rigid 14” psaltery bow gave up its hair early on. I tried re-hairing, but...
Lance, Thanks for the input. I was thinking a 20" bow would be a good size. Of course it probably won't fit in my psaltery case, but that's a separate problem....
Hi Ed, a few years ago I bought a regular incredibow from you and then later exchanged it for a lightweight. Last year I bought a Arcolla CF carbon bow and...
Hello, I am a German violin player, learnt about the incredibow from this homepage and have now bought two featherweight bows. As I play a 5string stick...
It's been a while since we've posted much news here - we stay busy crafting Incredibows and trying to make improvements all around. We're cutting down on turn...
Hi ED, I have some suggestions for the bows. I had the main guy from sydney, nsw ausralia conservatorium give me and a few mates a workshop on bow technique....
I agree that the end should be octogonal shaped because the round end has a tendency to slip. I like to hold my bow like a fiddle meaning higher up the end....
Also Ed, is it posssible to chnage the tip of the bow to look more like a real bow or does evryone like this uniquness? A few people said to me tha they look...
Hi Rhys: One more thing: Could you provide us with a first name of the buyer. Did you want us to make the bow and ship it to the person J. Edwards? Did he...
First, we need to apologize for the confusing message to Rhys - going to the Incredibow group. (Carolyn had read Rhys' comment in the group about modifying...
Hi, I encountered two problems when I ordered a new incredibow: - custom viola bow was not added to the cart - extra hank of incredihair was not added to the...
Hi - I use the Clarity rosin on all of my Incredibows, due to allergies, and am happy with it (playing both electric and acoustic violin). However, I have not...
Hello again! It's been a while since we posted to our members. This is a busy time for most folks; we trust that things are going well for you. We'll try to...
On Wed, 25 Apr 2007 05:51:58 +0100, Edward Wilcox ... ED have a look at David Van Edwards site, he makes a number of Baroque bows, ... regards bob -- sent by...
Hi Ed and Carolyn, I've never used a Baroque bow but I used to play Baroque lute in consorts. By osmosis from that, my understanding is that the/a most ...
I should add that the flat and curved Baroque bows have different purposes (though overlapping I'm sure). The usual relatively flat Baroque bows used in...
The "Bach Bow" is a 20th century invention and has nothing to do with the bows used in Bach's time. It is an interesting idea, but certainly isn't something...
Thanks Robert, Laurie and Ben for your feedback and ideas. I had been wondering about the Bach bow if it was fairly new - we weren't sure we could devise...
Hi guys - I ordered a no frills viola bow awhile back. It's a pretty good bow. I own a $4000 french bow and I'm suprised at how well this bow competes with...

Hello Erik: we're glad that the bow is working well for you . It's so good to hear that sort of feedback. A cellist a couple years ago told us he had...
Thank you Benjamin for this info and these links. "Curiouser and curiouser!" is right on. In my various musical travels I had never seen one used so I...
Hi Ed, If that bow was invented in the 1950s, even if it had been patented the patent and patent renewal would have long since expired by now. So not to worry...
Here is the question. Is it necessary to have a high tension Incredibow when playing a 5 string violin? Or will a feather lite do the job just as well. Here is...
... Ed makes high-tension lightweight Incredibows. So you can have the best of both worlds. It's very typical to have a tighter bow for 5 or 6 string...
