guys look at these amazing violinist, the girls bowhold is sooo amazing and cool and wonderful and correct, it’s almost like someone pushed them into that pose!!
Tumblr media
tbh im still trying to figure out if this girl can actually play and she’s just holding it weirdly or if she’s a fake

sorry number one favorite thing from s3 is the fact that they either got real musicians for enzos or actually had people who knew enough to fake convincingly and they didn’t fuck up the editing on the string quartet

By the way if any of my Mutuals or followers wanna add some violin to their fics or art like,,,,, hit me up lol. Or ask any violinist I promise we love the attention.
I’ve been seeing some common mistakes with bowholds though so I figured I’d give my two cents
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That’s my typical hold! I think it can vary in size of hand and experience but this is how I do it. Some people put the thumb in between the stick and hair??? But that always gives me cramps so,, idk. Also bows and violins have sizes. You can use a violin smaller than your size but not bigger. Full size is generally as big as they go. 1/4 (small), half, and 3/4 before that. I think they make teeny ones for little little kids too. Size depends on your arm length 👍🏻
Also that silver knob is for tightening the hair, which should be stored loose and tightened for use. Thumbs don’t go on the hair it fucks with the oil or whatever.
Also for drama: I used to whack my bow on things when I was little because who gives a fuck. Those bitches are RESILIENT. Like I’ve Never broken one and I would hit the shit out of em. So if you write one being thrown, it’ll probably be fine lol. Also the hair sheds with play, and you have to get them re-haired every once in awhile. Uhhhhhh what else. Idk that’s mainly how etiquette, the actual violin is a whole other thing. If you want more info feel free to ask!!
also you cannot play the violin with long nails. it does not work. i have seen this drawn. and it is not physically possible.

you should infodump to me about your interests <- is bored and loves when people infodumps to him
umm uh lets talk about double bass!
oookokok sososos the bass has many names. Known by bassists as simply “the bass” its also known as un upright bass, a double bass, and a shit ton of other names. It is not the same as a guitar at all!
It has roots in both the viol and the ??? Family. A lot of its popularity is in jazz, but i play it in a more classical setting. There arent many popular proffesional bassists, but among them is Phoebe Russel (!!! WE LOVE YOU PHOEBE RUSSELLLL!!!) and Lourain campett! We also had a composer wayyy back (hes dead now) names Giovani Bottesini!
the double bass has 2 different types of bows, one german and one french. The french bowhold is over the top of the bow, like a cello. But the german bow hold (what i do) is more like a handshake.
the double bass has the same tuning as the violin. the bass learns to shift when they’re first learning the d major scale! So unlike the other instruments, they’re shifting since day one.
the double bass is seen like. Everywhere. The jaws theme was actually written fkr doible bass.
anywhoo i lovelove bass. Bass supremacy

there are like 0 world class violin soloists who don't make an audible tapping noise against the fingerboard in MAAAANY instances, particularly when playing larger intervals and/or coming from an open string, and/or playing really fast, slurred passages where the notes only have a split second to be heard before the next note needs to start,
and yet there are stilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll all these fucking pedagogues out there wanting to die on the cross of You Don't Need To Press The String All The Way To The Fingerboard And It's Actually Bad To Make A Tapping Noise.
??????????????????????????????????????????????
ok which one of you is gonna go tell hilary hahn that she's doing it wrong? hmm? who's gonna tell rachel podger to withdraw her latest release of the bach toccatta arrangement for solo violin which has VERY AUDIBLE TAPPING NOISES all throughout??? HMMM??? Somebody better snatch all those prizes out of Soo Been Lee's hands! let's call James Ehnes and Ray Chen and Midori and Gil Shaham so they can sit in a masterclass where some adjunct professor at some unremarkable university can lecture them about how they're all using Too Much Tension.
!!!!!!!!!! I legit Do Not Get It.
Same vibe as when my old evil violin teacher showed me this famous clip of heifetz pulling off a near-impossible bow stroke, and then criticized him for having a "bad bowhold."
It occurs to me that a possible caveat may be that when it comes to orchestral playing, maybe the extreme clarity and crispness that's achieved with a firmer touch isn't necessary because the lil imperfections in the tone quality are more easily swallowed up by the resonance of all the other unison pitches. Which I mean, I don't know that to be true, but it seems like a safe hypothesis, in which case, then sure, you could lessen the chances of muscle/tendon strain if you use lighter pressure.
HOWEVER!!! If you're doing solo repertoire, there's basically a 100% chance that it's waaaaaaaaaay more physically demanding than even the longest, most difficult full orchestra pieces. So if a soloist can bust out Brahms and Tchaikovsky and Paganini and solo Bach several times a week for years on end while using a firmer touch all the while without suffering any adverse consequences, then an orchestral player should DEFINITELY be able to do the same, and have even less of a chance for adverse consequences since their music isn't as physically complicated and demanding.
and i just???? Do Not Understand why there's so much eagerness to reject the things that the worlds greatest players do that are the REASON why they sound great, in favor of sticking to whatever insufficient philosophies that have gotten them to a medium level of professional playing and no further.
don't you wanna sound better???? don't you wanna BE the player that other professionals are gobsmacked by? Don't you want people to hear you play, and have no idea how you pulled off what you just pulled off? How did you land that enormous fingered octave shift so flawlessly? How did you nail every single note of that hella fast four octave phyrgian scale?? How did you get those double stops to ring with such fullness?
If you fuckinnnn PAY ATTENTION to the actual motions of legendary players, you realize that the reason they sound as amazing as they do is because they straight up just do things differently than the rest of us. Their bowholds are unique and idiosyncratic and can change several times in a single phrase. they initiate shifts with a different part of their hand. they contort their wrists into seemingly awkward positions to nail awkward chords. Their bows are often visibly NOT ~parallel to the string~. they do NOT always start every note ~from the string.~
And yet you expect to be able to ever accomplish any of that same shit without making similar adjustments along the way? Without setting aside those ~basic rules~ that are really just meant to help beginners get off to a good start without straining theirselves before their bodies are ready for more demanding techniques??

I just want you and me to know that its okay to cry, its okay that your bowhold is wrong, its okay that your hand is tense, its okay that your hand is cramped, its okay that you cant get your vibrato right, its all okay
What matters is that you did it. That you can play. That youre trying and playing. Its great that you practiced for less than 30 minutes, that not all of it involved playing. Its great to cry about it. Youre doing good. I promise.

If you own a recurve with a front mount for a weight or stabiliser a Beiter Bow Holder 360 is worth its weight in gold. It’s absolutely amazing when your tinkering or tuning your bow. Nothing beats it. And no, I’m not sponsored by Beiter, I just love the product. #archery #recurvearchery #beiter #beiterarchery #beiterbowholder360 #bowholder #beiterbowvise #bowvise #gillo #gillogt #gillogoldmedal #archerytuning #archerytinkering #tinkering #tuning https://www.instagram.com/p/CVlY7FwoWIN/?utm_medium=tumblr
