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.
Col legno is also the name of a record label specialising in contemporary classical music; see Col legno (record label)[?].
The resulting sound is percussive and dry.
