For some reason, I decided to look up information on a baroque violin bow and why it was used. I came cross this tidbit of i formation and found it quite interesting. It might be fun to try a baroque bow, if I ever got the chance.

Hey, GREAT info on the Baroque Bow!
Saw Peakfiddler (on YouTube) using a Baroque bow in one of his tutorials, right after I had started violin - remember thinking "wow, somebody overtightened that bow!" (lol)
Later, I learned it was supposed to be good for playing lively, traditional Celtic-type music - also discovered there are many types of bows!
Thanx for bringing some attention to it - been considering trying one!
...no Baroque Bows at Fiddlershop? 😩

Funny thing is that we have some.
We don't have them on our site yet though. We'll work on that.

This video is great for showing the difference between using a Baroque bow & a modern bow - and why.
I start this video where they talk about bows.
This video has some bowing tips for using a Baroque bow, playing Baroque music.
I start this video where he talks about using the Baroque bow.
Thought I posted these videos somewhere else, but I can't find them.
