I came across this yesterday. I don't think it violates anything to post it here. It's a terrific lesson

Fantastic lesson.
This page (below) in Simandl I, was where my teacher, (Roger Macchiaroli, Buffalo Phil.), first said to me - "a monkey could learn the notes".
That first demo in the lesson above, @1:08, "releasing the string....." is pure gold.
Thanks, LouisF.

Aw man, thanks Louis. This is a solid reminder. I used to do a similar thing, where I'd just make contact between the bow hair and string, wiggle the string side to side for a second, and start a single note at time, up bow and down bow. But this David Alan Moore lesson only adds to that. Can't wait to add this to my daily routine.
I've been going to the Mahler/Schubert cycle at the LA the past two weeks, and of course, sit up on the side or back of Disney to watch the bass section (soloists? what soloists). It's just amazing what a tight section they have. I'm glad I stumbled on this.

But can I add to this, then....are there really any NEW techniques, or at the end of the day, the pillars remain, and there's just a whole bunch of people "dusting them off" so to speak?
No, and yes. What's new, or at least recent, is the expectation of what the DB is supposed to sound like.
Actually, no, but there's lot's to be discussed here. I was relying on my own experience.
Thanks Louis for posting!
Here is a 65 minute talk with Moore. He covers a lot of territory. His hybrid bow hold is interesting, using bows by Fritsch, Walke, Herman, Dow ...and probably others! That starts at 34:00.
He talks about Edgar Meyer and Francois Rabbath. Also his book 'Fractal Fingerings'.
At about 52:00 he gets into audition prep.
This guy is a intelligent eloquent speaker. Teaches a full time USC position, full time Philharmonic chair and runs 40-60 miles a week for 'ultra' marathons. He also practises.
Wow!

He's pretty neurotic about his scheduling, and everything he does in general.
