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.

Notes
Extensive usage will have a detrimental effect on bow varnish and should be avoided.
