The quick bows you shared earlier helped my sp-control very noticeably! bloody hell. I wasn`t even in the room!;) Likely story. Thanks Buri, that's a good, challenging exercise. And now I'm quite deaf. I have seen Pinkas Zuckerman twice (one time I was VERY close at a recital) and every time I would swear he is going to bow off of the tip of the bow or catch the from on the string. To me, he has the most amazing bow arm (I would like ti when he is done please). Hey Buri,

So what do you make of the videos of Milstein on youtube? He looks as if he's playing relatively far away from the bridge a lot more than most and yet it's so gorgeous.

Greetings,
playing further from yhe bridge witha rapid bow speed is fairly typicla of players who use gut strings. Casal`s wa sa classic case. However, this doesn`t mena the player doesnT use slow speed near the bridge , it just becomes a contrasting color rtaher than the norm. For me, Milstein has the most touchingly perfetc sound of all time. Just enough of the uglies to be a human deity...
Cheers,
Buri Greetings,
incidentally, most of the stuff on youtube is juts downloaded DVDs so it really pays to get the originals. Much more satisfying unless you are skiving off at work
Cheers,
Buri Well... the youtube versions are plentiful enough that I could spend many a lazy afternoon at work watching various videos and never need to repeat. So why should I plant when mongongo nuts are free? Or something like that.

Yeah, I love Milstein's sound too, just not sure I understand how it works and I'm not sure I believe your "gut string" theory!

Greetings,
not a theory. Do your homework.
Cheers,
Buri
