Bow hunting

Today we went bow hunting. In total we caught a bear, a lion, and a rabbit...... I wish! We drove to Fred Osters shop. He is the man that looks at instruments on the Antique Road Show. I looked, and played 32 bows for an hour and a half. I played more than 32 scales, played a section of a song at least 30 times, and played the section of another song at least 30 times. I picked 2 bows. I was hard work, and I was very glad when it was over. Yesterday we went to a lady's shop, and looked at 9 bows. I picked the black one. It responded well, and had a nice sound. It was also the one that they lady that owns the store was going to buy. She said that if I wanted it, I could have it. I feel bad, my mother is very proud of me for having such good taste at a cheap price ($300). The other bows are around $700.. I don't think it's that cheap..... When we got home, I played them all, and liked the black one allot. One of them from Fred's store was fat, heavy and quiet. The other is fine, but it can get a little hard to control on the REALLY fast parts. My mother made me play them with my eyes closed, and pick the one I liked the most. The first two times I said that I hated the fat one, and loved my old bow. What can I say? I have been playing with it for over a year... Tomorrow I am going to my violin teachers house to play them for him, and to see what he thinks. We are going to meet him in the afternoon at his house in Philly. He told me to bring my swimming suit, because he got a swimming pool, and that I am welcome to come over and swim any time, as long as I want, any time of the day... Some ones excited! I wonder if he know that we have a swimming pool.. I will let you know what he thinks!!!
