Harmonic-Ahh!

April 4th, 2008

There is an eerie whistle that happens when you gently touch the string in-between the bridge and the nut on a string instrument. Now that our sound and bowing techniques have improved, beginning cellists were able to quickly learn a quick piece using harmonics. At the end of the piece, when we circle our bows of the string, we can hear the ring of our open D string for at least 5 seconds.
