@Timtationful Besides, after viewing this video once, I became aware of how to improve my tone. It seems that hand tension was my major malfunction.

@Timtationful Thanks for adding that. Well put!

I see all sorts of negative comments for a poor lady who is trying to be helpful! I have had difficulty holding the bow for 2 weeks now, and this has been the first helpful video that worked for me! Thank you so much, and ignore the goobers!

I have not been successful finding information as to the proper tension of the bos and the strings. Does anyone have any ideas? I bought my wife a lovely cello but I overtightend the G string and it broke. I do have an electronic tuning devise for my piano, can that be used for tuning a cello?
Many thanks

A good sound on any stringed instument is to do with how you balance on the contact point (ie: where it touches the string). If this remains contstant as you pull the bow then you have a chance of making a good sound. Then you need to adjust the pressure and speed depending on how close you are to the bridge or the heel. A basic starting point is half way between bridge and end of fingerboard. If you balance, not grab, then your fingers will adjust.

around enough tension so that you can fit your index finger in but enough slack for you to be able to touch the shaft with the hair pretty easily.
