If anyone is unsure what a great bow arm looks like, check out violinist Hilary Hahn playing the Shostakovich Violin Concerto.
Note the height of her elbow, how her wrist leads to her nose, the roundness of her hand (the tunnel of space between her thumb and fingers), how her finger balance changes a split second before changing bows at the frog, and how she's playing really close to the bridge.
