Bowing on the [[bridge (instrument)|bridge]] produce two different effects depending on how it is done. If it is done while the performer is in normal playing position the sound produced is quiet, whispery and a bit squeaky. This method could more properly be called bowing over the bridge since the bow hair is usually still in contact with the strings. [[Sul ponticello]] (bowing near the

bridge) is a similar more common technique.
