My method book made its way to double bowing, and I think that I have a knack for it. But I ran into a slight problem. Any suggested help is welcomed.
While bowing the G string and the noted G on the D string together, I get a phasing strobe of about 1 to 2 beats a second. I can shift the time interval between beats by shifting the fingering on the D string, but I cannot seem to eliminate it. It only occurs when using my “responsive” pernambuco bow. I don’t think that the violin has a wolf tone because it is an electric violin. Can a bow have a fundimental tone?

I don't know about that but it may be possible. I've always felt that the vibrations from the bow are heard strictly from the instrument. The wolf is a mystery. Can you catch it on a video?

The beat is likely due to a very slight dissentance between the two frequencies. That is the acoustic principle behind the Bose active noise cancelling headphones. But in that case I should be able to stop it by moving my finger. It does not stop. I put a small strobe tuner on the violin, and it locks onto the sound and does not vary at all (about the only time I have ever seen the dial stop). Can a bow have a wolf tone?
No clue on how to do a video, but if it gets me a badge I’ll sure try.
