My daughter's violin arrived today. We watched the how to hold a violin, howto hold the bow and how to draw the bow across the strings videos together. We are still working on getting enough rosin on the bowtongue I did a sound test using my bow which has "tested' her rosin. I was a little wobbly after about 45 minutes of diligently applying rosin with not much success.

Sorry about the pictures. They copied really big and I think I distorted them a bit when I shrunk them.tongue

There should be an mp3 at the end of the post, but my mic stinks.

About rosin, my cello teacher told the class that when you use a new cake of rosin just breathe on it the way you would if you were fogging up a mirror and then apply it to the bow.  Warm breath makes the surface of the rosin stickier so it goes onto the bow more easily.  It's worth a try.

I've learned so much from my mistakes that I've decided to make some more.

Never heard of that. I will try it next time I use a brand new unused cake of rosin. Thanks Gail
