@doc-ivory, I think you do violin, right, Doc-Ivory? I have  the Fiddlershop hybrid violin and viola bows, carbon inside, veneer pernambuco outside. I like them. As with the cello bows, each bow has its own sound, so I use them depending on what type of song I am playing.

I  practice my cello more seriously than my violin, at the moment. It is easier for me to get into the proper position and fingering is easier because of the position of the hand when fingering the notes. When I get the cello down much better, I will do more with the violin an viola. Since I usually actually play pieces on the violin and viola instead of exercises, I change up the bows. With my cello, I am mainly using the carbon fiber weave right now, because switching back and forth while trying to learn does not seem to work for me. 

I am considering, however, purchasing the hybrid cello bow. That might help with me being able to, once in a while, use the bow that I prefer for a specific cello piece when I am just playing and not doing my self-created lesson pieces because it has a little carbon and pernambuco in it. Maybe the switch will not be as noticeable. Doubt it, but who knows. Have to have fun once in a while, 😁. I am going to use my hybrid violin and viola bows  a little more playing time and compare them to the carbon weave and pernambuco bows before I purchase the hybrid cello bow. 

I hope this makes sense to you and that I have not thoroughly confused you. I do that a lot, 😂.
