One more step in the right direction

I was finely able to locate a luthier here in Alabama!! I have gotten my practice bow rehaired, and also purchased a Pernambuco bow. Boy can you tell the difference when you hold and/or play with the two bows. I also found out that the bow I received, with the viola I purchased, is really a violin bow and needed allot of repair work done to it, more than just rehairing it. I opted to just order the new bow instead. The new bow is a J. LaSalle, I think it balances much better than the student bow I was using before. I even think that it makes the viola have a richer tone.
