I use a Fiddlerman Carbon Fiber Bow, and since I keep my fiddle out all day long, picking it up often for a quick practice here and there, I sometimes forget to loosen the bow hair after using it. I know when using a wooden bow this can be detrimental, but is it (as) detrimental for a carbon fiber bow?

@MoonShadows and others. The cf bow should be fine. The hair would have a tendency to deform (stretch) if left tightened over an extended period of time. I doubt if a day or two would have a noticeable effect on the hair.

Thanks @Mark@ABitRusty Grab it while you can if it is included in the bow sale! Did you get the email with the discount codes? Just in case, here they are...

Yes I checked it out. Thanks for including the info just in case I didn't though. Appreciate the heads up.



I have a basic CF JonPaul that I bought based on a blind listening test compared to a few wood bows. Never would I have thought my ears would pick that bow. That bow is very light and well balanced too.
I have the Fiddlerman CF bow. Probably one of the best values out there. Plays ok for most stuff I play.
I go back and forth on bows and what I think I like to hear. Of course, that problem isn't the bow.

Jim not directed at you. I was talking about me I'm very fickle about what I think sounds good. It seems to change by the day. I once swore off CF bows like vampires to garlic. The only thing I have in common with them is we both suck.
I am seriously looking at the higher end John Paul bows. There seems to be a huge difference between the low end CF and the others. I say "seems" because I can't be entirely sure. Only going by comments from experienced players. I want it to look like wood though. Tricks my brain.
10% off is a great sale no matter which you choose.
