@@nickiemcnichols5397 Yes, it's going to be different for everybody. It just depends on where your tension is. You can practice bow strokes at the frog specifically to learn to relax your pinky and keep it bent in the correct direction.😀
Hello I recently bought a bow directly from the store. And I took my violin with me to test the The sound of the violin bow. Sellers offered me several types, some of which are very expensive and some of which are approximately $ 100. After experimenting, it turned out that a cheaper bow makes a better sound. In addition to what you mentioned in the video, I recommend that you take the violin to the store and try the bows yourself if possible. Greetings
Ya, good idea. A lot of the time, the price is just "fluff". If you can try a bow, you should. A lot of the time, it's not the bow but the hair. If you take a good bow and install hair poorly or if it's just poor-quality hair, the sound will be affected quite a bit.
@@KennedyViolins I got a free bow at my Luhtier (I was willing to pay... he told me the random, unmarked boy was mine. will return to make my actual purchase, i swaer.) it's a wooden, Amazon bow wiht a Hexagonal body. and let me tell you, it's a joy to play wiht, in my very beguinier opnion. it's also a bit waroed, but honetly, it's not that bad.
Snakewood is not a favored wood, so you're results may vary. It really depends on who makes the bow. Most people buy snakewood because it looks super cool!
Question: Why do some bows appear to have perfect materials and workmanship and the stick has great resonance and yet sound terrible?? Raspy noise competing with the actual note.
Well, that's a pretty loaded question because there are many possibilities. The biggest contributor to sound is the hair/rosin and the quality of the stick. More than likely, if you are playing on an expensive bow and the sound is bad, it's just because of the type and amount of rosin that's on the bow.

Carbon Fiber Bows: Bounce well.
As a beginner, “DO NOT WANT!” I don’t need any more help bouncing the bow! 😂
😂😂😂
Me too
😂 haha. Ya, I get it.
I fight bow bounce constantly! It seems like the secret is in the pinkie finger.

@@Kattycha Well, if it works, it works!
Thanks Joel.. Quick question, are any Viola bows “fully mounted,” or do the comments just apply to violin bows?
Good question. I should've been more clear about that. ANY bow can be fully or 1/2 mounted. Bass, Cello, Viola or Violin.
I’m seeing Snakewood bows. Are they any good?
