You have nice eyes
What do you do if the bow is curved too much, and touches the hair? I tried loosening and tightening it, but neither worked.
Violin irish folk
Oh my goshhhhh I've been playing the violin for so long with such a straight bow and I always asked myself why the bow bounces so much and this answered it. I actually feel really dumb right now but thank you nonetheless
I'm just a beginner but do notice a bounce sometimes and stop to loosen the bow. My teacher told me you have to be able to press the hairs to the wood in the middle.
I feel so sorry for you I wish I played long and didn’t know so you ain’t alone but i’m really a beginner hehe😅
Me too
I appreciate you taking the time to make these! I just got my violin, and where I live lessons are hard to find, not to mention fund, since I'm a broke college student :)
how are you doing now lol
Arnav Pandit I’m beginner too :/ but hey how are you doing so far beside the fact that this comment is from 2015
@@Kielshakunin How are you doing now 11 months later? :)
I have just started. I have grade 8 piano, so the reading is no big deal, but my bowing sounds like a cat dying. How's everyone else on this thread doing?
@@alias201 doing pretty crazy but everyday I practice I see improvement (started a week ago) main thing is practice tbh
I just got my first violin (my grandmother's old violin that was repaired) and your videos have helped me a lot!
Thanks for the advice!
Mika Tarkela I got my violin from my dads uncle
We are the same...I'm not even kidding I got it like today,five hours ago.
I got mine from my grandfather. It was based off a Strad! It's currently getting repaired. It's name is Phantom.
Thats cool! I had to buy mine xD i bet if your violin could talk it would have some cool stories!
It's so nice to see a straight and to the point video without waffling! :-)
Oh shit! The untighten thing after practice was a new one. I've not done that! Only had it for like a week though, but will definitely loosen it after! Thank you!
It's new to me, too. I've had mine almost exactly a month.
My first violin is on its way! I've played guitar and bass all my life so this will be new to me! Thanks for the awesome video on how to tighten the bow!
Same! Im 13 and I play Piano (1 year) and Guitar (4 years), I wish the violin will like me :)
I know nothing about playing the violin. My son has shown interest in it and has started playing this year at school. He is 7. Your videos have helped me help him. Thank you.
Yes, too much of tightening the bow without giving a curve at the centre of the bow leads to a scratchy sound instead of
smooth pleasant sound from my violin. only after this experience i wanted to refer to your teaching through the youtube and confirmed my finding. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you very much madame.
31 people either ruined their bow by over-tightening it or prefer to play with the horse hair completely loose
Ben'Jammin That's a very precise number.
Namih number of dislikes at the time
nahhh it’s prolly them pizzicato people
if you have a loose hair and its bothering you you could just remove it carefully without removing any others. If not, leave it. you cant repair them
while i'm playing, should the hair ever be brushing against the wood of the bow where i'm putting it on my violin strings?
@@arianebenzahl764 No, your bow is too loose then. Just tighten it a tad bit more
Thank you, this was very helpful! My mom bought me a musical saw for christmas and now I'm sitting here trying to play it with my bow :P
I know musical saws but isn't the bow hair going to get recked
Thank you so much for all your tips. They have helped me tremendously. After I retired, I picked up playing again. One is NEVER too old to start playing. I am enjoying playing very much.
My first violin gets here on Monday and I'm excited to start learning how to play it, your videos inspired me to play the violin.
Alison,
Thank you so much! I've been following you for quite sometime and I enjoy your content. Today I stumbled upon this video regarding tightening the bow and it made me go back and look at how I have been playing for the past 1.5-2 years. My former teacher had me over tightening my bow, I made a simple adjustment per your instruction and it drastically improved my playing. It was such a noticeable improvement that my roommate thought I had another violinist over performing.
Sincerely,
Mark
Wow, what a difference. I had my bow straight and it was bobbing out of control. Now that I did your instruction, no more bobbing. thanks a ton.
I have just gotten a violin as a beginner. Thus far your tutorials are very informative and detailed. I can get good sound out of my violin, lol. My husband has taught himself to play the banjo so I'm teaching myself the violin. I'm ordering different rosin also instead of keeping the cheap one. Thank you so much for your videos. I really appreciate your teaching.
I’ve been playing with my bow super loose so thank you. Every video of yours I’m learning something new. Hopefully my twinkle twinkle little star will start sounding better . Thank you !!!!!!
This has been so helpful. And don't worry, it showed up fine on camera :)
You have been a fantastic tutor, a brilliant inspiration, and your videos are so full of information that I have the confidence to pursue this lifelong ambition. Thank you, a thousand times!
I literally received my violin now and I have never once played or even touched one before. This helped so, so much, thank-you so much :')
not only are these videos extremely well done, so informative, well-paced, and concise, but this woman is beautiful. and i could listen to that accent all day. holy cow.
Thanks for this Alison...you are the Goddess of knowledge & help to all us beginners. Love it all. Thanks x
Thank you!! I am trying to heed all the points of the advice against learning by myself, so all these videos are of huge help!
Your personality sparkles making these videos informative and personable. Thank you very much for your cultural contribution. I hope to learn as much as I can.
Just received my violin from Eliga GEM 2 Student grade and using you videos - Rosen the bow- hold the bow-hold the violin-7 mistakes for squeaking and squawking Etc-- I'm off to a great start! Thank you!! Glad I found your site!
Subscribing. Thank you, Alison, for posting these videos. I got my grandfather's fiddle when he passed many years ago and told myself one day I would learn to play it. You're already teaching me, and I intend to follow more of your instruction! Great information:)
Thank you for the lesson...I love this lady!
I really appreciate your videos. I do not know how to play the violin, nor have I ever owned one, yet, I am planning to acquire my first instrument soon.
I live in Hawaii and play an Ukulele along with my friends. I think the sound of the violin will blend beautifully with those of the Ukuleles and guitars.
Watching your videos are giving me a jump-start on my learning. Thank you and God bless you.
Very informative, Alison. Thank you ... you are helping me more than you'll ever know. :) Hugs!!
I got my violin yesterday, thank you for your videos it guides me really well 😄
As a complete beginner this was a brilliant video. Nice and easy to follow.
Most helpful young lady. Thank you for your time. Best wishes.
Beginner and was having slight problems with my sound. Watched this and I sound loads better. Thanks!
The violin you recommended arrived for me today. Thank you so much for all your advice on here.
I recently got a violin from a previous owner. I did not know that you could tighten the bow hairs, it is now a lot easier to play when the hair is not touching the wood.
Thank you so much for all your videos. They are all so very helpful!
im glad you made this video, because im just about to get my very own first violin and i probably needed to know this
Thank you so much I needed this video and thank you for your 20 beginner online lessons!
Many thanks indeed for this Alison!
At the ripe old age of 36, I'm an absolute newbie at playing the violin and although I have no illusions to become one of the Nicola Benedetti's of this world, it's an instrument I've always wanted to take up.
This has helped me a lot as I've been struggling with virtually all aspects of the bow - from how to correctly hold it, how much to rosin it and until now, how tight it should be.
I recently purchased the Stentor Conservatoire outfit and am pleased with it - a very nice violin.
Again, this video and your others Alison are very helpful and I thank you for taking the time to educate us! 🖒
I'm a new subscriber!

HIi how is it going? Did you become ling ling yet?
Wonderful How To Video. Thanks for posting video.
Thank you for the great lessons
I don’t know a thing about music, but you have been a great help
I see I got a lot to learn
Thanks. I appreciate all your videos
jusr found your video i could listen to you talk all day thank you gorgeous!!!!!
That was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!
A lot of this kind of thing seems to be personal preference, which is good.
Gave the video a thumbs up, simply because I didn't know (until now) that the real difference between a tight and loose bow is the bounce it has. Also, VERY good to know that it's bad to keep a bow tight, rather than loosen it when you're not using it.
Currently waiting for some rosin (the kind that came with my violin was very poor quality, as was the bow), but I plan to put this into action tomorrow, when my rosin arrives.
Don't want to use the cheap rosin on my new bow.
Thanks for the Answer, Just ordered my Stentor II Wednesday, so I am excited to get started when it gets here!!!
Very informative. I will adjust my bow. I appreciate this tip.
That's great. Thanks. Just bought a cheap electric to try to learn on. Play man do so this is all new. That helped a lot.
I look down the bow from the frog or tip and it helps see the bend in the bow. This is very helpful Video. Thanks.
Oh thank you so much! I was so worried too much why it was touching its wood! Now Im looking forward to make it sounds
U teach everything with simple presentation.. i love your vedios
I never even thought about looking for a video like this, watching you teach about it seems that I have been doing things properly on my own. Always good to verify though.
I'll be subing, watching and paying attention to all your video's while I learn how to play.
Best explanation I could find, thanks!
Such a gorgeous Tudor, wow. Great videos
some bows do differ slightly, but as long as its not over tightened, I would carry on as you are. You ca always post a picture on The Online Piano Tutor facebook page and I can comment?
I love that term: putting the violin to bed.
Now I'm off to loosen my bow, because I hadn't heard about doing that.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I thought I broke it so I did what you did and it was fix Ilysm thank you THANK YOU !!!!!!!❤️😭😜
Awesome lesso.s. Thank you.
You so amazing this helped so much thank goodness I found this video
The video is great, I can definitely see what's going on. Thanks a ton.
Very useful vid. Thanks!!
Tuanks for this. I recently bought back my old violin, and thecperson I had sold it to years ago never used it at all. They loosened the strings and removed the bridge but didn't loosen the bow so it had def stretched and needed a little adjustment. I'm excited to get back to learning, I'm just waiting on new strings because I broke the e string trying to tune it and there's no rosin. 😁😁😁
Thank you very much. I've always wonderd :D
OMG!!! I just LOVE your videos!!! tooooo good
it s a difficult one, but usually when you get to a decent grade like grade 4ish and upwards. Any earlier and you probably wont have the bow skills to notice spending a lot of money on a new one - unless the one you have really isnt very good...
omg thank you soo much i thought i would have to buy a new bow! helped a lot Thanks!
Thanks for the instructions
Thanks. Video helped. Got a new violin and havent played since 2005-2019. Couldnt figure out if a few bow strings should be loose. Wasnt tight enough. (Never owned my own violin and spent a good amount on one and scared to ruin it haha) thanks for your videos.
I love your videos thank you so much :)
loving your videos thanks for sharing your knowledge..
Thank you so much, I just got my violin today, this helped a lot!
Thx u so much this actually helped me
Thank you Very Much miss Alison Your Tutorial was very help full for me you are my teacher I'm new on violin

You have saved my life 😊
Thanks a lot for this long awaited video.
I really appreciate all of these videos :) the violin is a beautiful instrament, and you play it very well. I can't wait till I can compare to your skill:)
I needed this thanks a lot.
thank you this helped me a lot!!
I keep forgetting how beautiful she is ❤️ this helps me out a good deal on getting my bow tight and right
or you can compare the gap with the diameter/size of the bow body. Thank you for so many detailed lessons!
Thank you Allison
i have literally just done a video on this that will be coming out very very soon. Its a new series of videos im trialing where you the subscriber send me videos to use here on YT and i tell you how to overcome specific problems or just give you a general critique with the benefit of others here on YT as well. It should answer your question and save me having to write it all out here! Hope thats ok.....keep your eyes peeled :))
I have begun my violin lessons up to violin 4. These have been very good refreshers on the notes. Am I in the right place for the entire violin series that I have purchased? Or, in my gmail as pdf ? Thank you!
spot on-thanks!
Thanks it helped me a lot.
Lovely Video.
Thanks for the help.
Thank you. I’m learning to play and wondered how tight the bow should be
i love your videos so much.
Another tip is to fit your pointer and middle finger between the bow. If your fingers fit comfortably, but still a bit snuggled between the hairs and wood, then it's good. All bows are different than others, so make sure that your bow is not too loose and not too tight. You'll feel the stress on your bow when you know you've exaggerated the looseness and tightness.
blehb blehb don't touch the hair. So your the hair and bow shouldn't be snug with fingers. Use a pencil or thicker marker
Thank you, Alison. :)
Thanks sm saved my life
Thank you!
ok thank you anyways from what i have been able to watch your videos have been very helpful
Thanks for yours ❤️❤️❤️
