How do you avoid the “hickey” red mark on your neck? Thank you!
By a relaxed and balanced violin hold, supporting the violin partially with your collar bone and partially with your left hand. Also make sure your chinrest en shoulder rest and well adjusted and of the right shape. You can search this site as I’ve made various video lessons and reviews about this.
