Working on a piece, you want to decide where you are going to place the bow to create a certain mood and color for a particulat phrase. Simon-Fischer sounding point categorization: Sounding Point (SP) 1- right close to the bridge; SP 2 - moving a little bit down; SP 3 - in the middle; SP 4 - close to the fingerboard; SP 5 - right above the fingerboard.Each of these placements has a distinctive quality and color of sound. Start to experiment by playing at different sounding points to see the variety of colors and characters you can achieve.Sounding point (bow placement) is where we place the bow in relationship to the bridge and the fingerboard.
