    And I always thought it's the retraction force that good material has at it's maximum while still being lightweight and with small diameter. But no - it's the *speed* of retraction!
    Maybe the influence of retraction speed is also the cause why carbon fiber bows are quite successfull. As they are hollow inside (are they??), there is not much material to bend/move/accelerate, and as the carbon fibers are quite stiff and brittle, there's a good chance that they are quite fast.
    I wonder how fast is the sonic speed in Pernambucco, and if this is also an influencing factor. As violin tops are made of spruce, because it's the wood with the highest sonic speed (though not as high as in aluminum, which could be worth a try? ;-), maybe there is also a correlation - or not? I'm pretty curious if we'll find it out in the upcoming episodes :-)

      I need to do more research!! :) But I really am leaning towards carbon fiber, at least with student bows. My kids tend to just totally beat up their bows, so at least carbon fiber is mildly less destructible..
      As for all the other pernambuco questions- I honestly need to do more research. Sonic speed! That's something they never teach performers about, hah!

      @@aTonalHits Sometimes I have the impression that the better violinists play even with supersonic speed - there exists a famous video of Heifetz' left hand... :-o

    I am sure his bows are as good as any around

    What a great series. I am in search of a new bow and this has definitely educated me on what I am doing!

    That was interesting, particularly about his attention to how fast the bow "releases" after being flexed. I hope he talks some about how the specifically contributes to tone. Thanks

    Can you make a video about baroque and transitional bows and how they fit into the whole bow story please? that would be super interesting.

      I've been meaning to do that! So many backlogged projects, but that is one at the top of my list. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Very enjoyable. Is there a part 3?

    • @aTonalHits

      Not a part three for Wood, but another episode for sure!

    Enthralling; the guy is in love with his job, and it shows outrageously.

    Great interview. I could listen to him talk about bows and wood for hours!
