Warning - Low Bridge !?
Two points will always lie on a straight line such as a taught piece of horse tail
(at the PRECISE angle !!)
Did anyone see the way he let the interviewer off without an "Elementary Geometry" lesson.
What a player - Inspiration. for us all I hope !

Almost the same style of bowing as my mother (Rosemary O'Brien of Dundalk) used to teach.
