Thread Name: Weight of fiddle bow?
Subject: RE: Weight of fiddle bow?
A good fiddle shop will put different lapping on to reduce or increase the weight. This will also affect the point of balance. It's hard to make temporary adjustments to reduce the weight, but you can modify the balance to try it with a bit of soft wire or even blutack near to the frog. Sometimes a bit of weight at the frog can give the feel of a lighter bow
