Bow Hold Part 2

Hold the bow up higher so you can get a better look, but keep it straight up and down. The little finger should be hooked and sit on top of the bow above the end of the frog. See how far the other fingers come around the frog and how they are spaced along the bow. The thumb sits on the other side of the stick from the fingers. Keep it bent and contacting its half of the underside of the stick only, that is, the fingers on one side and the thumb on the other.

Hold the bow up, move it to your side and turn it so you can see how your hand, fingers and thumb contact the bow and how they are shaped. Keep your arm, hand, fingers and thumb relaxed. Keep the bow vertical to avoid tension or support it with your other hand, as support is provided from the strings when playing.
