This was very helpful. I think I don’t apply enough pressure and play too close to the bridge. I practice in front of a mirror most of the time but when I don’t I can’t really see what I’m doing since my mute is blocking my bow. I think I can tell the difference by ear now. Thanks for sharing!
Yes it would. Always be sure to wipe the strings down after practice so rosin doesn't collect overtime. If you have too much rosin (when playing, a cloud of rosin bursts into the air above the bow) gently tap the middle part of bow stick against your hand or arm a few times. If there's still too much rosin, grab a clean towel or cloth and gently wipe the hair a couple of times.
Great idea about the straws! I don't practice in front of a mirror, so this might help!
Thank you. Great video

Would too much rosin on the bow cause a scratchy sound?
