Bow Wood Glissando

Technical Practice
There are two ways in which the wood of the bow can produce a glissando.

1. If used in the manner of a guitar slide.
   
   
2. If placed onto a vibrating string then moved either up or down. 

If using the first technique, the wood should be place on the string prior to articulation.
