Col legno
Col legno
(
Italian
for
with the wood
) is a method of playing bowed
string instruments
(particularly the
violin
,
viola
,
cello
and
double bass
) whereby the strings are struck with the wood of the
bow
rather having the hair pulled across them.
The resulting sound is percussive and dry.
Col legno
is also the name of a
record label
specialising in contemporary
classical music
; see
