Re: [atloldtime] Bow Advice Sought

Thanks Judy,
 
My teacher is Matt Evans. He has a couple other students in the Plum Nelly area
of Lookout Mountain, where I live, so he drives down from Chattanooga twice a
month and gives lessons to us all.
 
During the summer months he plays at the BBQ tent at Rock City, but the rest of the
year he is a prof at Univ. Tennessee Chattanooga. He is a very good teacher.
 
Why did I post this question on this list? Because I know a few folks here, from when I lived in the big city. I work in Atlanta and stay in town during the week, so I still have a connection here. If you hear some odd noises coming from a condo on Cheshire Bridge (odder than usual), that would be me, early on the learning curve.
 
Thanks for the pointer!

Mo - The K. Holtz Fiberglass bow is around $50 on line and has received good reviews on fiddlehangout. com.  I bought one as my back-up bow.  I still prefer my ~$300 Glasser carbon fiber bow that I bought at Atlanta Street Violins, but the K Holtz is definitely playable.
 
Who's your teacher?

My first fiddle lesson was last Saturday. Seems I need a bow, as the
one I have was declared "virtually unplayable".

My instructor recommended that I spend no more than $50 until I get a
feel for what I want, which might take a year or more.

I quick browse of the internet vendors yields names like Glasser, Kun,
Scott Cao, LaSalle, Siegler, and Geipel.

Any suggestions / advice?

Thanks,
