It 's not the hair, it's the stick. the stick would tremble so fast that it make the sound weird. Almost as if the stick is vibrating on an opposite direction of the string's vibration. It happened when I change strings, like DBGB DBDG and when I played fast, occasionally when I do long notes. When I applied more pressure, it seemed to be doing better. I do notice that I am slack on my bow hold so I have been paying more attention on it.

Hey, just read the string thing and have a couple questions. The violin I purchased came with Helicore strings. The owner said the strings were more for fiddle type of playing since they have a different type of vibration. Since I'm leaning more towards classical playing at this point, I'd like to try out some good strings. I'm thinking a Synthetic Core String but am not really sure. I'm not afraid of spending a little more money on good strings as I would like a better sound. And of course since I don't have a lot of time on the violin, I really haven't heard different type of strings. The helicore strings I have do have a strong loud sound and to me it sounds good. But my gut is telling me maybe it's not a bad idea to just try another set. Also, do I need to get a different A or E string due to some inherent issues with either the sound or the string breaking? I need an extra set just in case a string breaks anyways. What would be a good site to purchase string at?
Oh forgot to add this site about strings I found..

OK, just found another site that offers you a custom setup. There are choices I have no idea about but would be nice to understand if someone could explain. The set I'm looking at is CS1001 4/4 Violin Strings-Custom Set. Includes Dominant A, Dominant Silver D, Dominant G and your choice of E. There is a large variety of E strings to choose from. I'm guessing this would be for professional players who would like to pick each string out. But the options are cool to be honest.
