I played for two hours straight last night and Im really feeling like Im starting to understand the bow and how control the dynamics of volume and its easier for me to get the tone I want alot more than ever. I can remember when I started the bow used to jump alot and now it doesnt at all, finally.

To anyone out there who is having throuble with this, just play through it, if you play scales long enough and try to learn from your experiences and instincts it will simpy come to you in time and present it self somehow in some magical way. But you do have to work at it and know the fundamentals so you arent practicing wrong.

My violin still has the original strings on it and Im getting itchy to put evah pirazzis on it, only Im broke right now. Im starting to wonder how the thing will sound with new strings and a better bow.

Im also severly bummed about the possibility of having no more Schwartzeneger movies, T4 would have been cool.
