Wow her intonation is just wow, and that bass sounds huge!

LOOKS huge too!

What a beautiful sound - like a sad cello got some worse bad news! I'm interested in that bow hold. Does it have any advantage/disadvantage over the more violin like hold?

[@barefootarts737]

Im curious about this also. This seems to be a more intuitive way to hold a bow. i'm self taught and this is more of how I hold mine but I'm wondering if there's any advantages/disadvantages with this technique.
