===Bowing on the bridge===
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.
 
The other method involves the performing holding the instrument in their lap, placing the bow parallel to the instrument and firmly dragdraging it across the side of the bridge. In this case the sound is a loud high pitched squeaky. An example of this playing technique can be found in [[Gérard Grisey|Gérard Grisey’s]] [[Vortex Temporum]] (1995).
