Buying the Bow

Well, this week I went in search of a new violin bow. I first tried to go to this music store that used to be located down the street from me, but they were closed down. I was pretty disappointed. Luckily, I remembered a place that I passed by when I was in Downtown Fullerton a couple weeks ago. It is called Mo's Fullerton Music.

When I arrived at the store, the windows were plastered with signs saying there was a sale going on. SCORE! I was so excited. I went in and one of the workers came over to help me as I was looking at the violin bows. I was not sure which one I should get. He showed me all the different ones they had with prices ranging from $19-$99! He began to tell me more information about the differences when it comes to the hairs on the bow. He said that the more inexpensive one was made with cheaper hairs so it would not last as long. I decided to go with one in the middle price range which was a little over $50 after tax. I also needed to get some rosin for my bow while I was there. This helps the bow from sticking to the strings when you play. I just got home with everything and I cannot wait to start practicing again!
