The Most Important Thing About a Violin Bow is Tension
A violin bow with a large tension can tighten the bow hair, while a tighter bow hair can make a louder sound. Suppose there are two bows. Tighten the bow hair and rotate the rotor of the bow tail. Under the same bending amplitude, the tension of the bow with the tight bow hair is greater. If it is simply to get more tension, it can be achieved by increasing the diameter of the bow, but at the same time it will become heavier. The heavy bow can't be skillfully operated, so it can't be played more conveniently, so the

lighter the bow, the better. High-quality bows are usually made of high-density materials with a thin bow body. In addition to reducing weight, its center of gravity also becomes concentrated and its quality is relatively better.
