Multiple Bows​

Two Bows in the manner of Francis Marie Uitti
Technique
The upper bow bows the middle two strings and the lower bow the outer two using reverse bowing.

Special Notes: 
  • Difficult in general to execute cleanly and for extended periods due to the physical constraints inherent in the technique.
Other Bowing Positions
Areas available: all
Technique: A bow is held in each hand allowing for simultaneous bowing of open strings and body parts.


Use of the second bow as an instrument
Technique
The second bow can be used as a sound object. Various part of the bow including the hair and stick can be bowed with the other bow and amplified by coming into contact with the instrument.
