Thank you for presenting this tip. I had that exact question.

Everyone is a bit different about how much they need or want to tilt. My whole technique is built around tilting for ease of playing and power (but I'm a slight person, so I have to have really good balance in order to produce a big sound).

I have been away from my cello for a month and have a new bow hold...is this normal? It is as if I have never played before.

Ha, been there! It's like, what did my hand do before?? I think we lose some muscle mass and then everything feels off.
