Sounding point (bow placement) is where we place the bow in relationship to the bridge and the fingerboard.

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.

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.
