"I DO NOT REVERSE MY BELLOWS between each note,"

Pulsing the bellows IS a legitimate technique for certain purposeful effects - those who try to tell you that you shouldn't do it (or for that matter ANY technique that THEY don't know about!), should get out and see more 'very good' players...


Many people do not realise that although as a beginner you are taught to do the bow/bellow, etc evenly as a practice technique, when playing real music, many of the very things that a beginner does because he cannot control the instrument, can be used by one who has learned how to control it, such as jerky movements of the bow/bellows, etc.
