"Bowed"

"Bowed" should be added to the title (as it doesn't refer to harps, guitars, hammered dulcimers, etc.). Badagnani (talk) 05:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Or perhaps “orchestral string instruments”? That’s the term Blatter uses. (Somewhat of a misnomer I admit, but perhaps more elegant?) --S.dedalus (talk) 06:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

gliding the bow along the string (instead of perpendicular bowing)

I noticed this technique in Lachenmann's (who else ;-) "The Little Match Girl". The bow is moved with the hair pressed on the string as in regular bowing, but gliding along the string instead of perpendicular to it. With strong pressure, the sound is a "hideous" croaking, especially on celli and basses. (I suppose this isn't exactly healthy for the bow) I don't see this technique mentioned in the article. -- megA (talk) 12:58, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
