Today I went into my closet and dusted off my violin case. When I opened it up, I realized what shambles my bow was in, but the violin itself seemed in good shape. I had not played the violin since I was in the fourth grade, but just looking at it brought back memories of what fun I used to have when I played it. I would have to say that I was fairly good at it. I only quit because I was teased because I was in band. That is definitely something that I regret.
I knew in order to play again I would first have to buy a new violin bow. The hairs on my bow above are NOT supposed to look like that. The hairs are supposed to be tight and held together. I started to do some research online about what is a good type of bow. I found a great site that provided great information about violins. At first I thought about just buying a violin off of a website, but I decided that it would probably be best for me to go into an actual store to purchase one so I wouldn't pick a cheap bow. This is something that would have to wait for another day.
