The Short Story of Three-Note Chords with Mimi Zweig

In The Short Story of Three-Note Chords, Mimi Zweig and her student demonstrate the essential elements for creating a beautiful sound while playing three-note chords. Mimi emphasizes the importance of a flexible bow hold, proper bow placement, and a horizontal bow stroke that pulls and pushes the string, rather than pressing down into it. By using the natural weight of the bow arm, rather than applying pressure, players can achieve a beautiful ringing tone!
