This video offers some options for beginner violinists and fiddlers on the often daunting task of buying your first bow. I often get asked in my UA-cam comments "Can you tell me a good brand of bow to buy?", and the answer to that question is often to find a reputable local violin shop or music store and get advice from those people who know what they're talking about. So that's what I've done for you here!
In this video with Brandon we discuss the options and advantages to buying carbon fiber bows.

    Love, I think you are starting too quickly for me. How about we set the bridge and tune the strings first? I have never touched a violin before. I already had the D string peg break in my fingers and I broke the G string by tuning too tightly, I guess. I tried to rosin up the bow….do I have too much rosin? Too little? How do I tell? All I know is I sound worse that a herd of hoarse, dying frogs. I could play my recorder/trombone/tuba/baritone when I first picked it up better than I can this thing. I am not yet frustrated, just incredibly new and I keep playing the E string along with the A string when I only want an A sound. How much pressure do we use when bowing? My violin seems to make a noise better and clearer when I just rest the bow on the strings and pull rather than pushing down on the string and pulling.

    @julievl16 19 днів тому

    I love this approach. It is super helpful to highlight the rhythmic pattern this way. Too often bowing gets overlooked in pursuit of the notes. I hope there are more vids like this - am about to check. Thanks George! Amazing teachings! I so appreciate you.

    I just can't get the hang of following the tune with the demonstration when it's played clearly first, then explained after really quickly, then moved right along. I end up having to constantly skip back in the video to try and figure out what I was supposed to do.

    Great video, just good for a complete newby like me. Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but two things I learned before watching this video which I think are worth mentioning: 1) Remember to use rosin or else the bow won´t make a sound :) If the rosin is shinny, use some sand paper to break it before using, it should release powder as you apply it to the bow. 2) Bow pressure on the strings should be minimal, or else sound will be horrible
