Talk:Col legno
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've taken out this:
Another percussive technique is when the twisting the hair of the bow on the string.
It was added by the same person who added the note on col legno tratto, which was a good addition, so I'm intrigued as to what is meant by this. I'm afraid I don't understand it at all though. Can anybody clarify? --Camembert
- Hi there. Just expanded this page. The above doesn't relate to col legno (it uses the hair not the wood) but is occasionally asked for: it needs an very heavy hand on the bow to overload the string, so that the normal fundamental frequency isn't allowed to speak. I'll do some research (find the name of it) and see whether it's discussed on another bowing technique page. JH(emendator) 22:48, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
