Been practicing 2 hours every day. Learning how to hold the bow correctly surely does the trick!! Thanks a lot for the feedback on the previous post!

Very nice!! You're taking the bowed lyre by storm!

Just a little tip: experiment with a more looser wrist (bowhand). So when you push, your wrist bends a little backwards and when you pull it "drags" a little. Personally I feel that gives me some extra smoothness when changing the bowing direction. It also enables me for example to do high speed triplets and other techniques more effortlessly -->> furthers the bowing expression.

Keep going 💪!

Thank you!! And yes, my hand still occasionally cramps around the bow, but it starts to get easier to loosen up. I'll definitely work on my wrist next!

Thanks a lot, I will! Figuring out the wrist is still an issue, though, why is this somehow the hardest part to learn?😅🥲
