Scratch Noise

Scratch noise is very similar to​ crushed bowing but with the addition of the left hand being used to mute the strings so that no identifiable pitch is produced. The resultant white noise corresponds to the pitch of each string: if a higher string is used then the air noise will be higher than if a lower string is used.

Dynamic Range: mf-fff
Difficulty: 1-2
