I’ve been learning cello for a year now and the bow grip is definitely the thing I fiddle with the most, trying to figure it out.

I’m interested in the cello. As I’ve been doing my research I’m finding lots of cello tutorial videos are kinda…. Pretentious. Your videos on the other hand, are a breath of fresh air. Thank you

This was the second video I looked at on this topic, because the first one only showed the front angle! Thankyou very much 😀

I've been looking sooo long for this kind of MULTI-POV bow hold thumb position tutorial. Other fingers are easier to keep track of with help of a mirror, but not the thumb 🥹 So thank you very much!! ❤ very helpful! 🏆

Hello, I need your help , can I ask you a favor ( as a left-hander)can you play your cello on your right shoulder with your with hand in minus 1st position on the C string and tell me if it touches the pegs please. I cannot play the tradition way and want to know before I purchase. I stop violin ( traditional) at grade 6 ad want to take up cello. Thank you.

Hi Billy: The names of the bones of the finger are distal phalanx, middle phalanx and proximal phalanx( distal to proximal). The respective joints are DIP(distal interphalangeal joint), MIP(middle phalangeal joint) and the MCP( metacarpal joint) or knuckle. The thumb is slightly different with only a DIP joint and a MCP joint. Carl Geyer, MD.

Thanks, I have just taken up the cello again after 45 years. My hands are pretty decrepit. 🥺😱🤣 My short pinky on the bow hand keeps locking. This will help. Thumb and short pinky in the string hand also locks. I found I didn't have the stretch of strength anymore for a full size cello so I am practicing on a 3/4 size.

I got my cello 2 days ago! This is great information! The bow hand is a rabbit hole 🕳 of information!

I changed my bow hold. I watched a video by Pablo Ferrandes and I realized he also felt pain -- after that, he changed his bow hold, and his thumb isn't anymore on this awkward position either, and the pain was gone and grip became better. I think all Cellists must watch that video too. I wish I knew that before. This story of the thumb position started with Casals. I don't think it should apply to everyone

Appreciate this video a ton, didn’t realize my pink was supposed to supper the weight of the bow. When I’m playin the tip, of my pinky ends up balancing in the top of the bow and that makes my wrist hurt.

so, what does being on the tip of the thumb give you?

My thumb and pinky is feeling sharp pain I don't get it. I play guitar and piano effortlessly, so it's not an injury. Can't seem to find the sweet spot.

Your bow grip looks nearly identical to my violin bow grip. . . BUT my bow slides over horizontal strings. What happens to your hand when you play on vertical - ish strings?
