Abstract
The force of bow holding and the contact force between bow hair and string in violin playing were measured by a pressure measuring film for the first time. It was scientifically identified that relaxed bowing was important fo r achieving a good violin tone. The proposed measurement manner may be help ful for objective evaluation of the bowing skill of amateur violinists.
