If your sound gets tight when the bow stops or changes direction, the issue might not be strength at all...
It might be how pressure is traveling through your right hand.
In this lesson segment, Mann-Wen Lo breaks down how thumb tension and index finger pressure can affect the whole arm and limit resonance. She also shows practical ways to rebalance the bow grip, reduce overreliance on one finger, and let the string vibrate more freely.
Try this approach to building a more relaxed, resonant sound!
