A violinist's bow-hold is something that is often regional, but also personal and can evolve over the years 
Mine has changed over the last 30ish years due to various circumstances: my teachers, my skill level, a hiatus, exploration of genres other than classical...there are a lot 
Today, I realised that I'm a Japanese/Indigenous/American violinist using a German violin with a hybrid between an Italian (Campagnoli) and Russian bow-hold while playing music composed by people from all over the world, and that makes me both giggle and appreciate just how much of the world and its people I hold in me
