Thanks Viktor, glad you enjoyed it!

same, always loved and kept repeating that part

Haha it's lovely!

What do you envisage, Joe?

@@oae Probably AI-assisted, self-calibrating bow that makes the tip and the frog part equally heavy. There will also be sensors to monitor your hair's tension and condition, and the hair will probably synthetically made. Now that I write and think about it, while that may sound cool and all, I think I'll miss the elegance and beauty of 'classic' bows and I'm not even a string player.

PEW PEW....PEW

@@nanwijanarko1969 the bow should evolve if it has to, but if it takes away part of what it means to be a string player, then it's for the worst

@@oae your brain controls it, you don't have to use your hands anymore; 2089 technology lol

Good idea Shrish! Thank you for the suggestion, we'll try to get that done in 2021. Also, thank you for watching!

Love the content; Keep it up!

The one is a cool da gamba now, which is what a bass is a descent of, and the other is a heavier version of a violin or cello bow

I believe that is because of styles that developed, and maybe because the German style is more ergonomic for holding, in comparison to the French style?

Comes from Arabistan in case you missed it. Not Robinhood!

Here before two set

Oohhhhhh yes lol

Yup lmao

I'm here before twoset

For aerodynamics. If you play really fast, you get less tired.

It’s so you can poke your stand partner in the eye if they start getting off beat.

Check out my History of Music playlist and have fun diving in

But the stick with the string was awful. I have much more appreciation for the bow now.

​​​​@@brucekuehn4031 Indeed, although a crude twig with a string is incomparable to actual properly crafted bows, with the biggest difference tonewise undoubtedly coming from the lack of rosin-coated horse tail hair!

How the bow got it's name:

Same here. Interesting video.

Because we are all musical!

But now you know more about the subject, isn't that enriching? also, cool

@@claudineesait Yes ma'am! 😆

Thanks for sharing the video Teacher 👌

I think it's just the history of the modern violin bow. Europe was bowing instruments well before this. But I agree the region is an important distinction to make in a history video.

A lot of music history is like this, very eurocentric. It was one of the things I found very frustrating in my music appreciation class, all of the history and theory we went over was solely Western. I also wonder if the bows design hasn't changed in 200 years due to it being satisfactory, or due to the dogmatism that is heavy within the violin community especially

@@nigeladams8321 the ravanahatha has quite an interesting evolutionary diversion from the european bow, they even have jingles on them to help accompany the ravanahatha, I feel like if the ravanahatha bow were given a chance to evolve quicker than the western bow (it hasn't changed in hundreds of years) we would have an entire other practice and breed of musicians trained to play complex sycopated rhythms with their bows along side their playing, probably entire families of instruments and cultures of music would have been brought about if the idea of the ravahatha bow were exploited by other cultures, for example, me being hispanic and having an intimate experience with many different kinds of regional music, I could very comfortably seen an adapted violin rustica with a Trio Huapangero, that kind of sound would suit that music very well and probably many others, But unfortunalty western society gets all of the influence for some reason, they just love arbitrarily taking over shit mercilessly don't they, even Ideas

I agree, all that needs to be done is to say 'The History of the bow as used in western musics", or "The Western History of the Bow". A weird thing is that western music is so global it's not even funny.

Well then, get yourself a twig and a piece of string.

Okay! 😅

I believe it's because the style of music has also evolved. During the romantic period composers and musicians wanted deeper, warmer and richer sounds, and it's way easier to do when you hold the bow near the frog, because there is much more weight. I'm sorry i struggle with english so i can't explain with more details 😅 but i hope i've somewhat answered your interrogation.

Yes its because music required a bow technique to deliver deeper and longer phrases. Up until the late 18th century, much of violin music was dance music. Dance music requires a bouncier lighter bow, short phrases, clean and clear notes and strong down bowing, weaker up bowing. You can't play mozart or haydn like that. From a woodwind perspective its like going from the recorders direct "speaking" style, to a modern cor anglais playing very long undulating singing phrases with connecting lines where the listener can't tell where the breath might begin and end. On an old 18th C woodwind instrument that would be very difficult.

Thanks for asking .... my limited violin training has me holding my bow close to the end, even tho' I often find my position creeping up towards the middle ... & then, I call it a more of a "choke" hold ... Henrietta Wayne certainly seems to be "Choking" the bow here, so I take it that this must be desirable, at least some times

Not only was the bow "historically correct", she was playing a baroque violin. Here's why it sounds better😂

@@MrPino so why didn’t she change violin 😂

@@xXAnni3LuvsYhuXx she did

She plays on gut strings, which makes the sound different, and better. :p

@@TheCreate78 yeah, also that

Hi are u the universal dirp on discord? BTW I'm @the violinist 😎🎻

@@johannsebastianbeanz3690 yes ik

I'd not noticed the Baroque bow hold, but saw it clearly here. And I am already subscribed, but the request at the end would have won my subscription anyway!

or a chainsaw

Because it sounds deeper?

It's a baroque violin, they have shorter ones.

Yep. As a bowmaker, I find that the more interesting part of the history- not after 1500, but before.
