PlainTone Videos [ Acoustic Violin ] 20250424, Thu

By softly wiping with a handkerchief regularly over the hair of the bow, it is nearly free of rosin already, and I can play the violin or the viola with this bow, without the need to press on the strings, like I wanted to do. As I worried at the beginning, the tones have become very silent, almost too silent for recording. But singing at the same time creates a nice entertainment landscape, even though one does only slightly hear the instrument. The violin in the video, with its smaller body, is lower in volume than the viola would be. However, I can play much longer with this instrument than I could play with my big viola, which is heavier in weight. And the mood effect is amazing, as if these fine tones are a medication.
