When it comes to the bow hand, how many times have you heard, "You need to relax your right thumb," along with "You need to sink weight in with your fingers"?
It's one thing to know what needs to be done, but it's another thing entirely to be able to actually do it!
Here is an exercise that will help you develop the feeling of sinking in weight through the right hand fingers WITHOUT tensing up your right thumb. As a result, you will be able to pull a richer, more resonant sound, and your thumb will learn how to become a passive, supportive player at the frog of the bow.
In the comments below, let me know if this exercise works for you!
