Cello bow wrench

Tensing up your cello or violin bow takes practice, but it's worth the effort. Here are a few tips to help you master the technique: 1. Start with a good grip: Hold the bow at the frog (the part that holds the horsehair) and make sure your thumb is on top of the stick. This will give you more control over the bow. 2. Use your wrist: Instead of just using your arm, try to tense up your wrist to get more power out of each stroke. This takes some getting used to, but it's worth it in the long run. It helps to think about tensing up your cello or violin bow as a form of exercise for your hand and wrist. The more you practice, the easier it will become. Also, try practicing with a metronome to help you keep a steady beat. This will make it easier to tense up your bow at the right time.
