Daft question about violin bow

What's Hot

in Technique
Often wondered about this........imagine you are on the violin and playin' a looooong sustained upstroke note and are at the end of the bows travel and you are now required to continue the note with a down stroke, yeah?

Is that a glitch free manoeuvre?

can it sound like many bars of a continued sustained single note or are the changes from down to up or vice versa always noticeable?
 

tae be or not tae be

    If you can do it well it’s hardly noticeable and it can also be masked by swelling the volume before and after the end of the stroke

    Like the very last note of this fantastic performance - I challenge anyone to hear the stroke change!
