Introducing the Baroque Violin Bow

[@Stefan_Kawalec]

The lady lives up to her surname perfectly. Excellent video.

[@antoinepetrov]

Even faultless, I would say.

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

That's the first I have ever heard of a bow that adjusted the hair tension without moving the frog.

[@R_Jackson]

Fascinating and accessible, thank you!

[@Bc232klm]

She's so good!

[@whatever4065]

She's actually faultless...

[@juliankrause7565]

Great information and amazing channel! So educational!

[@nickwright9064]

Wonderful! Thank you!

7:38 if Maggie Faultless says it's "actually quite hard to do", mere mortals don't stand a chance 😂 in all seriousness though, great video, comprehensive yet very accessible. Thank you very much for this.

Very interesting: the screw pulling the hair rather than the frog was totally new to me! I am sure you know, but someone else in the audience, may not: the bow in the painting with the paper/parchment inserted to tend the hair was not a violin bow but a viola da gamba bow. One may assume the practice was general, though. Thanks !!!

[@DavidCox-c3r]

Interesting video clip. Lovely bows.

[@BaroqueViolin]

Excellent presentation! I wish I had a teacher like you!

[@milormileidi4945]

This was incredibly well done and informative. Loved it.

[@AlyxGlide]

wow! I imagine that the hair hold even allows a greater dynamic loudness, although with enough perfect bow-hair clearance, such may be negligible. Anyway, I love that this is a beautiful example of the progress of bows

[@mfC0RD]

I'd love to know more about the mechanism that moves the hair instead of the frog to adjust tension!

[@alsowentmyth]

The speed at which I click on these videos as soon as they pop up

[@antoinepetrov]

I love this series more than you can imagine

[@problame2249]

Such a dynamic and interesting presenter!

[@ezraschwartz5201]

Thank you for this informative and interesting video!!!

[@U014B]

6:50 B-but... the flames make it go faster...

[@michaelbishop.]

No hair/string contact sound audible. Is that a bow property or the usual excellent skills of an OAE musician?

[@Zavendea]

Or the work of an excellent audio technician :)

[@michaelbishop.]

@@Zavendea Baroque sound engineer? Oh the shame!

[@Tyltonstudios]

Finally! These videos are coming back

[@adamschilling7140]

More please!

[@tonyevans9999]

thanks, I really enjoyed this

[@nex3movie]

I would like to try different baroque bows, but it is moderately difficult.

[@PlanetImo]

Fabulous, thank you! :)

[@victotronics]

It's made of larchwood. Number one: The! Larch!

[@ElarKun]

Aye mate! 😂

[@antoinepetrov]

The Larch, the larch

[@humanfingers]

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!!

[@phthartic]

And now… number three… The Larch.

[@nevzatkalender]

Thanks a lot for great presentation dear Margaret Faultless ❤️🎻. May I ask please who made the last bow? 10:35

[@oae]

From Maggie: "The last bow was made by Luis Emilio Rodriguez Carrington - it's remarkable!"

[@ensemblecytharis9778]

What is the book from which you extracted quotations from Mersenne and Bremner?

[@oae]

Hi @ensemblecytharis9778 the book is The Pursuit of Musick: Musical Life in Original Writings & Art : C1200-1770 by Andrew Parrott

[@johnmarshall7177]

What was the book that she was quoting from? I'd love to find a copy. Thank you!

[@derekgreen2252]

can anyone supply the title of the book?

[@oae]

Hi @derekgreen2252, the book is The Pursuit of Musick: Musical Life in Original Writings & Art : C1200-1770 by Andrew Parrott

It seems strange that so much attention is paid to period bows alongside an incongruous reliance on chinrests, which were invented in 1820.
