how to warm up your bass bow and rosin  

The guy who rehairs his bow loves this.

This warm-up practice kind of scares me, but it does make sense.

You’re also really loading up rosin into the winding grooves of the strings - brilliant. ❤

This works really well I feel it made the tone on my bass sound clearer love it!

Lemme tenderize my Cello now💪 It really works🎉 Thank you🙏 for not letting me spend 5 freaking years to figure it out👏

This actually works wow thankyou! I hope I dont scare the rest of my ensemble tho 😂

New sound to the audience pre symphonic concert!

I never knew you had to warm up rosin! This is going to make playing Wagner a breeze! Thank you!

we do something similar in percussion! the tam-tam speaks much more fully and responsively if you tap it gently before a note. I've noticed the same thing for the triangle too, gently rubbing the triangle beater against the side of the triangle makes the following speak much more purely and openly

That took me back 15 years in my head remembering yelling at my daughter feom the other room 'dont u be messin up that bow!' Then mumbling 'that schools gonna get me for 70 bucks'

This just sounds like every time you forget to put rosin fir a month and then apply an ungodly amount before a lesson

Damn that’s pretty crazy, I can definitely hear the difference on the impulse of the sound😂 I have another trick that helps, if you bounce the tip bow using the finger tips (idk if this would be very helpful with German grip lmao), and really focus on the feeling of the bounce in different zones of the bow, it can really wake up the hand and pull the bow into the knuckles more naturally. It gets a similar kind of snappiness on violin at least!

It sounds more likely that you’re warming up the strings. Horse hair and rosin wouldn’t have enough heat capacity to change the tone for more than a few seconds. Sustainable heat of in the strings because they’re more thermally conductive. How does your tone quality change when your bass has been sitting in a hot area versus a cold one?

Rub rosin on the strings and get the same, without destroying the hair

I mean with that logic you could get enough friction if you perform a more vigorous tuning and use the native motions of a bow stroke and not have to submit your strings or Bridge or bowstrings to any unnecessary abuse.

I tried this on my violin and it actually kinda works decently

This inspires me as a modern composer...

Think this applies to cello or even violin? Also i met him, hes in sybarite5! Amazing player

I heard paranoid android there for a second

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

doesn't that only warm a tiny portion of the bow (the diameter of the string)?

My solution for the cello is using bass rosin... 😊

Great, now what if we completely threw the bow away and started slapping it like a bass?? 🔥

This should be intro of a battle about to happen

Meu sonho é aprender Double Bass

chopin’

Does this work on violins or are there better alternatives?

The hell are you chopping? Solid oak with a dull saw? (Sounds great, thank you for sharing.)

Do you remember what the piece was called? I'm really intrigued by what that song sounds like

I don't see how slapping one spot on your bow is going to warm up the whole things resin but okaaau

A was drying my hair and suddenly my violin sounded amazing ... I did not know why it happened until I figured out ...

Sick, does it apply to viola?

How do you notate that chopping thing?

“No no no I said play some Chopin”

does it work with violin?

Mr. Krinkle

What piece?

Or you could just play it.

If you do this again, your bow is cutting

Pq ele tá espancando o arco

that scares me, i think it could damage your bow..

was that fucking paranoid android

paranoid android

... all this, in the middle of a world of total silicone oil contamination

That doesn’t sound anything like Chopin…
