All of this is super relevant to me right now, and I wasn't thinking about any of this before watching this video, so thanks! I tend to play close to the fingerboard because I'm trying to not annoy people while I practice, didn't realise I might actually be doing more damage to peoples ears this way
Haha yes, I'm sure they would prefer in tune and beautiful sound! Playing next to the fingerboard is ok for a certain type of fluffy tone - just add very light and fast bow and it will still sound beautiful. It's a bad habit to ONLY play like this though - even your violin stops resonating properly! Try some heavy, slow bows as close to the bridge as you can every time there's no one around to annoy!
