Violin Tone Tips

Now remember you want to get a good tone out of your violin. First your bow you bow hold has to be relaxed you can't grip on it. Remember fourth finger curved, first finger laying like that, now let's do it like this. Your sound can't be, don't press too hard on the string. When you can't see any space between the bow string and the bow hairs and the wood that means you have a problem. Don't have it too loosely you know certain pieces require strokes like this there are most firm but in a scale we want to get a full clear whole some sound like this. (playing violin)
