Geometry 101

Was your math teacher irritated today when you missed class for your music lesson? Well, I bet your teacher didn’t know that music has a lot in common with math. Take the square, for instance. When we place the middle of our bow in the sound spot, we make the shape of a square. Of course, you must pop up your platform in order to keep your bow parallel to the bridge. If your platform drops below your wrist it will push your bow out, resulting in the shape of a trapezoid.

Check out these gorgeous platforms:

When you raise your platform, your bow is guaranteed to form a straight line as you move your forearm open and closed. Most importantly, platforms come in handy when you need a place to rest your Starburst, which unfortunately has nothing to do with math.

Until next time, Platform Up and Waterslide Down!
