What are the differences between a Viola Bow and a Violin Bow? Can a violin bow be used on a viola?
What effects, if any, does using a violin bow on a viola have on the tone of the instrument? Details if possible. I know the differences between a violin and a viola, so you don't need to give me that information. Thanks!
The viola bow is slightly shorter (74.0 rather than 74.5 cm) than that of the violin, with a wider band of horse-hair, particularly noticeable near the frog (or 'heel' in the UK). Viola bows (70 to 74 g) are heavier than violin bows (58 to 61 g). Bowing technique differs from violin bowing in that more weight must be applied to pull sound from the strings. A violin bow will not work well for playing a viola, as it is simply to small and light to properly bring out the sound on the larger instrument.
