Pizzicato Bitones

Technical Practice
Bitones can be performed as single notes or chords (or in conjunction with the regular pitch )  by plucking between the left hand and the nut.

Notes
All pizz techniques can be used but dynamic levels are restricted to the lower end of the spectrum unless amplification is used.

Dynamic Range: pp-mf
Difficulty: 2-3
Special Notes: Artificial harmonics produced in Bitones are extremely quiet, almost inaudible if performed without amplification and in an ensemble context.
