Buri, have you got a secretary now?

I like your "cup of coffee concept". To extend it: What do you think about a concept with the bow leading your fingers, so there is no part of the arm leading, and to imagine that you have sensory nerves in your bow (in fact you have: the bow is transmitting vibrations to your fingers)? This won't work with a cup of coffee on the table but as soon as you touch it. It may help to get rid of the feeling to hold a bow.

Thank you, Buri!

I was not having any problems with my bow, but you just helped me eliminate a kink in my downshifting that I could not fix.

While I was not tilting the neck down (I've read Menuhin, after all) I was also not thinking UP & away, as you mention above.

This makes a world of difference. Ah ......
