What bow does he play on? So cool omg ❤

[@lc-b352]

I would definitly like to know too !!!

[@TheStoicus]

It's a baroque violin bow

[@TheStoicus]

There are several ways to hold the bow, the Franco-belgian wich is the most used in these days, there is the Russian bow hold. But Mr. Smirnov uses the baroque way to hold the bow.

[@lc-b352]

@@TheStoicus I dont think so... maybe classical bow

[@TheStoicus]

@@lc-b352 Yes, that's possible, a classical 'cramer' model maybe
