Causes and Remedies for Tendonitis
in String Playing
The Right
Hand
In the right hand, a balanced
hold of the bow is important, so that the fingers will be flexible and can
imitate the passive actions of the hairs of a paint brush in the up and down
bow strokes. You should always feel that you are pulling the bow instead of
pushing it.

There are other
elements that can cause tendonitis in the right hand when you use brute force
instead of leverage to get power. When the stick of the bow touches the hair,
this is the most pressure possible to get with the bow. This should be done
with as little effort as possible.

This is a general
explanation of why pain exists in playing and how to avoid it. No one who plays
an instrument should have to play with pain. I sincerely hope these comments
will be helpful.
