The balance point is the part of the violin bow that can balance on your finger. Playing with your bow at the balance point gives you the best chance at getting a solid tone. It is close enough to the frog to benefit from the weight of the frog without getting an overly scratchy sound. When first learning the violin, practice placing your bow at the balance point to help you pull a resonant sound from your instrument. #violin #violinist #violinpractice #violinlessons #violinteacher #violin...
