Um, Paul....as a former pro symphony violinist I have to suggest that marking up and down bows doesn't have to do with the difference in sound between them (weaker and stronger.) It has to do with not running out of bow at an inopportune time and with playing musically. It is also the ease of making a particular type of sound at one end or the other of the bow. With a skilled player you will not be able to tell the difference in sound between an up bow and a down bow (unless s/he wants you to) except possibly at the extremes of the frog and the tip, which would be with special effects. However, in a section, they will mark up and down bows so that the entire section will bow together, after the musical dictates of phrasing have been met.
