heavy or light bows..
do you prefer heavy weighted bows or light weight bows..? i prefer light, my violin teacher says hers is a heavy but produced a...louder or heavier sound...(and her cost $1500!!) but i like ma $200 light bow:>

I prefer a more heavy one, since it doesn't bounce on the string as much when doing spiccato (well that's just me :P).

for spiccato i think its the matter of how well u can controll the bow with ur wrist, not really the bow, but ohh wells, ur oppinion

I didn't know there was a choice.

Professional players would prefer lighter bows, since they're easier to control and are more flexible.

I prefer lighter bows. I have 3 Coda Bows that I love, and they'r perfect. My favorite bow is my Coda Bow Classic. It's not too light but it's not heavy either.
