OK. I've been working on my bow bounce and bowing straight and its all improving but I feel that there is still something 'basically" wrong with my bowing.
Please look at the video and tell me if you can hear or see the problem.
All feedback greatly appreciated.

Well Ferret, it's early morning here & I'm having my first cup of coffee....being not quite awake yet, I may be wrong.....are you playing with the wrong end of the bow????Sounds great!
Do you mean the the other end is the handle? Well I'll be darned. This could be a breakthrough.

great demonstration of the importance of even pressure distribution across the length of the bow. Surprised a young woman I work with how effective it is. Of course now try to replicate it while holding the other end.....or not, its your style after all. Good job on the tune by the way.

The video posted is what happens when you sit a bottle of Bourbon next to a violin

There are many factors involved in bowing, but I'll consider mainly your hold. The video is taken from a distance, so I can't see your bow hand very well. But from the sound, I think I can tell 1) you are handling the stick itself very well, and 2) you are not doing as well as you might in controlling the bow using the frog.

From Ferret........
I tried playing while holding a frog. Dropped the darn thing and it took me hours to get the little critter out of the violin

I saw this and looked with a blank expression. I then went back and looked at other things you posted then realized, you got me. LOL... nice.
If you want to mess with people, take apart a crap violin , reverse the bass bar/sound post and string your strings backwards from EADG so all your fingerings will be extremely off looking and probably make someone go crazy trying to figure out whats wrong with "this picture"
Good one!!
