Hi! I got my new bow in today! It is okay, I wasn't totally 100 percent happy with it, but I still really like it. It offers a really deep tone that I like..but for some reason it sounds a little mutes..i dunno, I have only played on it once so far, maybe I need to keep rosining it so I get a better sound. Or maybe I need to get a different kind of hair..hm..I will take it to my luthier hopefully sometime during the week while I get my other bow repaired(grip came loose when I came down and hit a hard note, lol) and when I get new strings...I am thinking about trying the Evah Pirazzi's...I am using obligato's right now, and I think Evah Pirazzi's would be good to jump into.

I have read some of the updated blogs here...and over and over again I hear about colleges...people getting accepted...rejected...not knowing which school to go to...Well...I wish good luck to all of you while you look at schools and decide your future...because as you know, I am looking into some right now, yes...I am a freshman in highschool looking for colleges..but to me it seems too important to procrastinate...
