Not sure if I agree with what she says, Peter. I remember really loving to *hear* what was coming out of my violin, esp. when blending with the whole orchestra, as well as when playing solo wiht my mom accompanying me. That was the whole purpose of playing.

Maybe because I didn't grip is why my teachers all said I had such a great bowing arm, etc.; always proud to use the whole bow; Rog says it's 'cause I was a gypsy (NOI) in a past life.
