thanks very much smiley, I’ve been on holiday and just read your message, I found a teacher who has experience teaching the visually impaired and he has given me th crescent bow or banana bow if you like,it is brill.really simple, you get all the correct arm positions without even trying, just make an exaggerated crescent shape with the bow,starting at the frog,the bow is pointing to the top right corner, make a crescent, as you do so, the wrist, elbow, forearm go where they’re supposed to, I have been doing this for a week now and I don’t need to make the movement so big now, and I sound a million times better, the full bow is used all the time in Scottish fiddling I can’t tell you how amazing it feels to have this at last
I hope you are getting there too, your message gave me such a lift, thank you, keep on fiddlin’
