My instructor said my "grip" was too tense and I started to lose confidence in picking the cello back up but after watching your video...I feel better! Thanks :-)
Thank you. My grip hurts a lot, possibly because I am a violinist trying to hold a cello bow, and your video helps very much. And thank you again!!! I like how you refer to the orange (ball). What would you say about the cello bow elbow?
Rostropovich and some other cellists used (or are using) a bent inwards thumb. I played several years with a bent outward thumb but changing to the bent inwards bow hold gave me a more relaxed and more "powerful" bow hold. So, I think there is no definit law or rule, respectively, how to hold the bow, it also depends on one's hand size.
Is it bad if when holding the bow I bend just my first knuckle on my pinky? (The one closest to the fingernail) It doesn't feel right, and my hand instinctively does it.

Not only the best video on bow hold, but the best bow hold lesson I ever saw
