I read up to Ch.20 and that was the last straw. Bach’s Chaconne does not and can not end with a “Whoosh” it ends with a diminuendo! The bow hold is not correct ever (at all!) hell, sometimes the frog (weighted part of the bow) was much bigger or smaller than it should be. AND the bow was never straight on the string like it should be, it was literally behind the bridge at one point. I appreciated the Perlman mention though. One thing it did get right was the case, every orchestra has at least 8 violinists with that same rectangular blue case, with one strap because two is too expensive.
