My perspective on violin bowing has been significantly altered thanks to Diego guidance. he instructed me in various techniques for holding the bow and clarified the importance of selecting rosin based on atmospheric conditions. Since transitioning to a carbon fiber bow on my violin, I've observed a remarkable improvement in its responsiveness.
