Cello Bow Crash Course - 2. Getting Your Best Sound

Practice with Houston Symphony cellist Maki!

The CELLO BOW CRASH COURSE is a multi-video series where I break down and explain everything from basic to complex bow techniques so that you can produce the best possible sound with a relaxed body.

In this video I give you some tricks to maximizing the resonance of your cello. Results will vary greatly depending on your equipment, but these exercises can provide a neat shortcut to finding out the potential of your cello and bow. (This method is primarily geared towards instruments made within the last hundred years. It may not work on many older cellos that require the sound to be gently coaxed out)

This is a VERY complex topic, so I want to open the comment section up for discussion to cover any gaps in information. If you'd like to ask me anything, have feedback or criticism, or would like to share your own experiences with other cellists, please leave a comment! This series will be an ongoing process, so feel free to leave me requests for topics to cover.
