Any good bowing vids on youtube?

Recommended Posts

I've seen a lot of vids that didn't look too competent. Are there any you'd recommend?

I had a lesson a coupla weeks ago (well worthwhile), but although i was shown how to hold the bow etc, I'm getting bad pain. So it's either quit bowing until the next lesson two weeks away or try to find the problem now.

Thought the right vid might help.

Thanks for any suggestions. :)

why not just send your tutor an email and see if they can make some suggestions?

Yes French. And you're right about the thumb.

I'll check that vid out. Thanks.

@ steve, I thought maybe it'd be better to see the right way rather than have my teacher try to explain in words from a distance.

Try to relax more, let the weight of your arm do all the work and keep your thumb bent and flexible. Don't lock it in position, your tendons won't thank you for it.

Check out Rinat's (LSO principal) hold on this

And some nice side on shots of Edgar Meyer's hold in this

Will do, thanks. Seeing really helps.


@ Daf - those vids are way the best i've seen. A great resource for any beginner.

If anyone wants to check them all, search youtube for 'First year technique'. You'll spot the bass ones. he's standing in front of an atrocious orange painting.
