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...
Hello, fellow fiddlers! I am a very amateur musician who has been sawing away earnestly off and on for years on a German-made fiddle (Sschmeltzer or something ...

"Sessions"? "Yellow Board"? Sounds like I'm missing some funkily fine experience not having heard of this/these before. Sara, can you give me a clue or a link...

Thank you. The Session looks perfect for next time I want to indulge in a fiddle-related time-waster. Looks like fun. Maybe you should indulge in making a...
Thank you Sara. That's even cheaper than Just Strings where I've ordered for years. http://juststrings.com/ http://juststrings.com/tonicapirastroviolin.html ...
FYI I followed the link from the Incredibow website for where to order Tartini rosen and thought while there I should check the string they carry. FYI their...
Sorry about this post. The whole email thing is really getting frustrating and I could not figure out any other way of contacting you short of calling. I did...
Hi Ed, I also am waiting for an email answer. I emailed you wanting to know if you still have any more of your carbon Elemental Incredibows left (still listed...
Terry: We received neither of your two emails you refer to below, since my reply to you on May 10. At that time I felt like we could get your bow completed...
Thanks, Laurie, for your email which came in earlier this morning regarding the Elemental carbon bow. (You're right - we just now have gotten to where we can...

Ed No. Thank you for your understanding. I too am up there in age as well. Our bodies don't seem to want to do what our minds tell it. Getting older is a...
Hi Carolyn, You paint quite a vivid picture of Ed's workroom (or should we call it "Ed's Dungeon" based on your description?) What you describe reminds me of...
Hi Laurie: Well, things are so busy here lately. We now have yet another litter of 7 baby kitties. I know how impatience is. I am one of those too. I can...

Oh.My.Gosh. My strings came yesterday. (My wallet gulped and went w/a set of Dominants w/a Wondertone E.) Unbelievable the difference. And the volume--the...
Have you considered trying a different type of strings? I've noticed that I get better results (more "complexity" of tone) from Helicores on my fiddle with the...
Do new bows need to be "played in" like new violins before their resonances start to emerge? I would imagine this to be the case with wooden bows, and possibly...
... My experience with the incredibow is that the rosin needs to be "played in" to the hair. Once I got the rosin properly applied, and then worked in by...
