This tune tells the story of how I set out to build a better bow for fiddlers — something lighter, balanced near the tip, and responsive enough for trad and bluegrass players alike. The idea was born in Kilfenora, Ireland, after noticing how local fiddlers choked up on their sticks to get better control at the tip. Back home in Massachusetts, I worked with bow makers, my father (a cello builder), and a bow repair guy in Vermont to turn that idea into reality.
