New "Incredibow" for fiddlers!
Ed Wilcox
don't play a violin. I have used violin bows for over 50 years,
playing music on handsaws, however.
A couple years ago I set out to develop a better bow for saw players -
and sold more bows to violinists and fiddlers! So I've now tweaked
the design for violinists and my wife and I are offering the (patent
pending) "Incredibow" for an introductory price of only $50 plus
shipping (with satisfaction assured).
If you play violin and are open to new concepts in bow design, you may
find these bows quite attractive, as they have the following
characteristics:
1. Pretensioned - no tightening/ loosening of the hairs.
2. Never have to rehair! Rarely will ever break even one hair of over
180 hairs!
3. Not affected by humid weather (great for outdoor venues!)
4. Never will warp.
5. New, modern design - matches well the violin.
6. Each one individually handcrafted by myself.
7. Need to rosin less often.
8. Louder, brighter sound with less effort.
8. Aligned hair; balanced weight.
9. Also available in "featherweight" style (1/2 the weight of a
standard bow)
10. Children's sizes also available. (Also available in colors!)
The shaft is of composite carbon fiber/resin; the hairs are nylon
composite - "no stretch" quality.
We realize that this bow sounds too good to be true. At one itme, so
was the horseless carriage, the color tv, the computer, the cellphone
. . . how long has it been since the violin bow design was
significantly improved upon? Perhaps the best can always become
better.
If you are interested, you may visit our "Fiddler's Page" at our

bottom of the page). Thanks for your interest. Ed and Carolyn Wilcox,

howdy ed...i've been doing research independent of but parallel to yours.
i've kept the bow constant and developed a better saw for saw players, but
sold more _saws_ to fiddle and violin players. I am told that several NC
counties are experiencing instrument mutilation and unprovoked amputations
at unprecedented rates
