fretmeister Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Right - how tight should the bow be, and what rosin should I use? and - anyone know of a teacher in the Northants area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougal Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Tighten it until the hair in the middle of the bow can just be pushed to the wood with as much force as you can muster holding it in a playing position. Adjust to taste. Rosin is only slightly less of a personal choice than strings: I use kolstein all weather out of preference.
