A bow is another of those frequently overlooked elements when starting a stringed instrument, something that we take for granted because our outfit came including one and something we feel vaguely will "do" til we get better at playing. And this is largely true - most well made, decently priced outfits will come with good, student bows and they do exactly what is needed to begin learning.

It's the little box of glossy stuff they stick in with any bowed instrument; an afterthought for many people and a puzzle for most beginners. What is it? Why is it important? Most students have a vague idea of what to do with it, but a host of misconceptions about how best to use it and its importance. Resin is a small component in your armory as a player, but it's vital - use too much, too Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083373600716953015.post-61699954235176063202015-07-03T14:55:00.000+00:002015-07-03T14:55:04.737+00:00Moving Up to a Better Grade of Instrument; A Parent's Guide
