Interesting idea, Chet. I'll have to try it. SueH, good point! I should've thought of it! I got blue ribbons in school for my bowing technique. Now, after not playing hardly at all for many years, I am practising consistently and finding I have to really watch that old bow! You are so correct; it is so important to good playing to watch your bowing. Make sure it stays in an even spot between the bridge and neckpiece(can't remember the correct name) and that it doesn't skew off at the end. The most important point to watch is your elbow and wrist. Make sure your wrist is limber/flexible and that your elbow isn't going wild off in left field, so to speak.

Thanks,
