The selection of a bowed piano is mainly based on good performance and good timbre. The following will introduce the method of selecting a bowed piano.


1. Don't choose a bow when picking a violin. Doing so will cause people to fall into confusion and not know what to do. Because each bow has its own timbre, it will help or hinder each other on different instruments. the simplest example

The sub is: a bow with a bright tone is suitable for a violin with a dark tone, and if the tone of the bow is bright, you should look for a bow with a warm tone. Therefore, after choosing the bow, we should choose the suitable bow according to the characteristics of the instrument used.

2. Now more and more savvy players choose a higher value ratio to buy bows. Because a good bow will not only give a great boost in performance, but also produce a better sound, which will increase the value of the piano.

3. When trying the bow, not only should you ask others to play it for you, but more importantly, you should also try it yourself. Because each bow will make a different sound when received by different people. So a bowstring that sounds good in someone else's hand doesn't guarantee that it will sound equally good in yours. And how the bowed piano feels to play is still based on your own experience as the final standard.

4. Pay attention to the weight and balance of the bow. Different players can have different preferences and habits. Some band players prefer lighter bows, while soloists may use heavier bows. Also, a slightly heavier bow may be appropriate for a new violin, while the opposite is true for an old violin. It should be noted that the balance of the bow is often more important than the weight of the bow. If it is heavy on the balance but does not feel heavy in the hand, its balance is better. If it is slightly heavy in the hand but not so heavy when weighed, its balance may be worth studying. .

5. Another important performance is bounce. A well-balanced bow will show the advantage of being easy to control when it bounces. This kind of good bow will naturally cooperate with the performer when playing the jumping bow, and it will not feel difficult at all. If the player is playing some pieces of the jumping bow, the player needs to spend more energy to control and practice. Then try changing a bow that is better (of course it is likely to be more expensive), and it may feel like a village in the dark.
