Bow Screw Rattling

Technical Practice
The screw of the bow is inserted between two strings and rapidly oscillated. This can be combined with a double stop on the relevant strings which will produce a combination of pitch and percussive texture, or the strings dampened with the left hand to produce a percussive attack with subsidiary pitch; the pitch varying according to the bow placement.
