Wang Yongde: Training and application of short and fast bow techniques
124 views · Organized by 小何 on 2022-06-17

The short bow is the basic bow of the erhu, and it is named after the short bow. The playing method is a combination of the agile bow movement of the forearm and the relaxed and elastic rotation of the wrist. The bow is about an inch, so the movement of the wrist and forearm is smaller than that of playing a half bow; the upper arm and elbow should be played. They sag naturally and cannot become rigid. They are driven during the performance, and the movements are small. When playing strong, use a slightly longer bow and make more use of the forearm strength; when playing weakly, use a slightly shorter bow and use more wrist strength, so that the strength of the wrist and arm should be combined.
