ok, i just got done purchasing the palatino viola outfit, and it came with a mongolian horsehair bow, rosin, etc (should have came with extra strings, i broke the A string within ten minutes of owning it) but i have a question...
i can get the sound to come out of the viola, but everytime i start getting the sound to get going good i feel all these broken hairs from the bow coming off, is that good?(i`m thinking not) what might i be doing wrong? so far to me the bow is like a really expensive guitar pick, should i maybe invest in annother bow if i keep my hair snapping spree up? if so what kind should i get? (i`m a poor punk rocker who wants to play viola... i`m somewhat consciense of the price)
