I'm going to pick up a cello bow for $35 at a nearby pawn shop. I prefer the size of it over a violin bow. Functionally, it boils down to the amount of drag/friction the bow has on the object you're pulling/pushing it on. So, assuming the hairs are fairly decent, using rosin may be more of a factor than the "quality " of the bow. {2c}I'm thinking I should scrounge through all the scrap bits of hardware I have laying around, and try building a noise box of my own...
However, I don't own a violin or cello bow, and those are commonly used with a noisebox. I have no idea how to pick out a suitable bow. Maybe it doesn't really matter which one I pick for this particular application? Since I'm not pairing this with a fine violin or cello, maybe I should just get the cheapest bow I can find, no matter what the type?![:shrug:]( "Shrug")
Does anyone have bow suggestions or tips?
