What bow do you use?

[NeonMig]

Me, I like the old German grip myself.

How about you lot?

I'm a bowing francophile but that might have more to do with my first teacher than anything else.

Tried a German bow once and I liked it fine. Whatever you're comfortable with is fine by me

I'm still a complete bowing amateur but have a french bow, simply because that's what the shop had! I am learning French grip but have fiddled with German - to be honest, I don't know what I'm doing well enough to have a preference yet

French.

German has never been considered an option for some reason - again, mostly because of who was available to teach.

I do both. French is better for stacatto, spicato & articulation in general, but you can't beat the German for long, powerful legato passages.

I play french cause it's what i started on. If I'm bored in rehearsals I'll switch to german, can't play with one at all though. It's like writing with my left hand.
