I have the most experience with Helicore, Prim and Pirastro Chromcor steel strings.
I liked the tone of the Helicore mediums but had read on the Fiddle Hangout about problems with their wound with aluminum A string. I’ve never worn through the windings which seems to be the main complaint. But, I ran into several wound A’s that were “wonky” in…[Read more]

An update on my bow adventures.
I’ve been playing the freebie, wood bow that came with the GEWA fiddle that I bought from the Bludegrass Shack. I removed the pad and windings from the bow and slid some “shrink wrap” on it and really like that configuration. I removed the pad from my two, Kmise, $35.00 carbon fiber bows and did the shrink wrap…[Read more]

Hi, Moon. I bought an Incredibow when I first started. My instructor didn’t like it (because it wasn’t traditional) and, after playing it for awhile, it didn’t feel right when compared to a couple of other bows I tried so I sent it back.
As mentioned, the Kmise is a pretty good value. There were some things that I didn’t care for on the…[Read more]

I’ve been fiddling for 16 months. I’ve bought a couple of fiddle “packages” that included bows. With one kit, the included bow was a wood bow weighing 74 grams. On the second outfit, bought from the “Bluegrass Shack”, a wood bow weighing 64 grams was included. The 74 gram bow was junk. The 64 grams wood bow included with the Bluegrass Shack…[Read more]
