CelloWisdom:
Balance and flexibility give us more bow control than gripping and squeezing; they are essential to mastery of the bow.

“imagine that your bow is your ship, and the strings are your ocean.”
awww, this is just so beautiful and poetic.
I like the idea of talking about bow hold, position, and finger role through the use of ship crew. Very clever and helpful!
love this. I was the kid with the horrible bow hold when i first started, and so i have empathy for bow hold difficulty, i truly wish this analogy had been told to me as a kid, it wouldve saved months of grief!
Paul Kats rules .Greatest teacher at Eastman..
I was told this analogy when I was about 13 by Hans Nygaard after a concert he did in a small town near to where I live. I named my cello after him, had such a big crush on him haha
I’m joining your crew!
Haréis un gran favor a la comunidad cellista de habla hispana...
Enhorabuena Paul Katz... Eres un crack en todos los sentidos... 🎻
I like Robert Gillespie's method of correctly holding the bow, he really helped me this summer. He helped write essential elements for strings. I had the privilege of playing under him in June

this is gold ! haha
Thank you! We agree!
Hi, I'm aware I shouldn't be squeezing my thumb against the bow but its absolutely normal to have a resist force against the thumb from balancing the bow right?
I have problem with my little finger, it always grapping the bow and acts to balance the bow. How to fix this mistake... so hard. Thanks
What's this song in the beginning of the video?
Zachary Brown dohaniy cello sonata
Under what instances is the pinky on top of the bow like In violin/ viola bow hold?
Not all schools of playing advocate keeping the pinky on top of the bow. Personally, I like to use it there as a counter balance to the weight from the tip when one is playing pp in the lower half and you want to keep weight suspended. For louder playing, I don’t see a reason to keep the pinky up. So for me, I use it for the softest moments when one is playing near the frog and the tip feels heavy. Pushing down gently with the pinky helps balance this clumsy feeling. Hope this helps! PK
@@CelloBello I was going to ask if the pinky moving "above deck" was for stabilisation, and you've already provided a great answer 👍
So, my hand should more or less be like the crew of the Titanic? 🤨😁
Maybe don't conflate fat and lazy next time...I guess you're trying to make a metaphor about the "weight" of the fingers on the bow, but it's kind of harmful.
Maybe don't take it personal.
