So I went back and noticed this reply link rather than using the email link so I hope you get it this time.
Thank you for the lead to Shar Music. I called on there (800) 248-7427 number found online as the number " He's at 734-665-7832." no longer works. Mike told me they had to make some changes to the 4 bow evaluation program due to costs. Seems you need to be looking at the $500 plus price range to take advantage of that. I told him my limit was $200 and he made a recommendation of [Presto Audition Violin Bow] $139 and it is shipping to me today. What a fine company to work with. Thank you ED, I think I have found a new violin music store I will like. Still so disappointed in the last one who's luthier either didn't know what he was doing or charged his prices for his apprentices to do the work and not even do it correctly and terrible communication issues. Shar Music will be my go to now.
Thanks for the update. I guess I haven't called him for a while! He's got pretty good ideas to help you out, and I'm sure if you don't like that bow you could return it. I guess you just can't get the 4 bows on spec anymore. Well, at some point you could look at some bows $500 and up, can't hurt, and you can learn a lot!
Ah, maybe my 10 year old carbon fiber bow should buy a little brother to demonstrate this concept. Certainly worth the price to find out if it's the bow making some of these wrotten sounds.
Hi Dan, you don't have to buy the little brother to check it out. Shar Music in Michigan is one place that will send you a case of 4 bows to try out and return them if you don't like them, or buy one & return the others if you like one of them. That's a great way to compare bows. You can talk to Mike Overdier there (you can say I sent you!) and he'll choose a good selection for you! Free return postage. He's at 734-665-7832.
