I never realized how little attention I was paying to where I bow. Not that I'm all over the place, but it seems I have developed a subconscious preference depending on what I'm doing. I don't tend to get too close to the bridge unless I'm in thumb position on the D and G strings. It seems the lower the notes, the closer the the FB I play and the higher, the closer to the bridge up to about an inch. I'm trying to pay more attention to it now, but really I think if I am getting the tone I want to hear that this is more important than where the bow is. I do understand the exercise part of the discussion and am working out some of that. Thanks for the tips.
