wow the bend sounds so cool...

really hard to believe that's an acoustic instrument.

look at that bowgrip! is that a violin/viola/cello bow? or do guitar viols use completely different bows

[KhamnNacuri]

@StopTheMoti0n I know that it is not a cello bow; it is too thin for that.

[GuitarViols]

@KhamnNacuri Again, A specially made outer arched GuitarViol bow; 20" hair with a hair width right between a viola and cello.

[KhamnNacuri]

@GuitarViols Outer arched? That's interesting.

[GuitarViols]

@KhamnNacuri Yes, Early Music (Viol, Viola Da Gamba) bows were outer arched.

Actually, before Violins/cellos existed, the underhand out arched bow was quite common.

[KhamnNacuri]

@GuitarViols They used to look like archers' bows, and couldn't change dynamics.

[GuitarViols]

@KhamnNacuri Actually, Viola Da Gamba players varied dynamics really well. The slack tension of the bow allowed for adjusting tension by fingers as it was played.

This allowed instant slack (covering multiple strings one second) to tightening (single note) the next moment.

[GuitarViols]

@KhamnNacuri It is all in the hands of the player. The incredibows I use are very modern and feather weight...

[KhamnNacuri]

@KhamnNacuri Of course. I just thought that design had become obsolete.
