Should i loosen my violin bow

With a brain like that, I swear it looks like you'd learn to type. But with still that said, I'm wondering if anyone completely detaches the hair from the stick during really dry weather.

Labling oneself is always a self-fulling prophecy, well unless of course you label yourself as playing like Oistrahk and then proceed to not practice. Unfortunately, that is NOT a self-fulling prophecy. Buri's just mad because it's winter in Japan and the exceptionally bad weather has made the price of prunes to go up. Sheesh I wish. I feel like the football player in "Footloose" trying to learn to dance most days And uh, 1 and uh My coach or whatever, was rag-dollin my arms, and I realized--uh,, I'm going to skip my dreams of line-dancin, and just hope to get through violin some.

There should always be some daylight between hair and stick, but hair that is at playing tension can look very different on different bows depending on the inherent characteristics of each bow.

Playing tension is one of those things you learn to feel by experience. Turn the button just until the hair begins to flop and then tighten it just until it looks like a smooth ribbon of hair again. In that case, loosen the hair more or it will become too tight as it dries out. If a momentary deluge is the problem, wait till the weather dries out. Wipe the excess rosin off your bow with a soft cloth. Rosin melds with the varnish and makes a mess, sometimes even leaving a blackish buildup that the rehairer may have to charge you extra to remove.

If too much rosin builds up on the hair, you can wipe that off with a clean cloth, too. So would this be applicable to a cello bow?

I'm just starting out, and I'm so worried I'm going to somehow damage something Hi Nikau, This would apply to cello bows or any other stringed instrument bow. This post elaborates more on bow care.
