Accordingly, is a viola bow longer than a violin bow?
Therefore the typical bowing speed is higher for higher pitched string instruments. This is why the higher pitched string instruments have longer bows. (Note that the viola bow is only marginally shorter than the violin one; the two instruments have three strings in common.)
Secondly, how do I identify my violin bow? Most valuable, high-quality bows have a whalebone or silver wrap just above the frog on the shaft for good balance. The frog is the heel where the violinist holds the bow. Inspect the bow for warping. Quality bows do not tend to warp over time.
Additionally, does violin bow affect sound?
Scientifically, how does bow wood affect sound/tone of your violin? That is, the bow, with the help of rosin which provides grip/friction for the hairs as they are drawn across the strings, cause the strings to vibrate and create a sound.
