Special Bows 2

Unlock new textures with Special Bows 2—a dedicated collection of unconventional
articulations and playing styles. From sul tasto’s subtle warmth to sul ponticello’s icy edge,
these non-standard techniques can evoke singular moods and inspire your compositions in
unexpected ways.

With 5 celli and 4 double basses—all captured in situ with multiple mics, for a vivid, realistic
soundstage—Special Bows 2 can add unexpected nuance and depth to your arrangements. For even more
striking results, pair it with Special Bows 1. Together, they’re anything but your typical string
section.

About the playing techniques

The unusual playing styles in Special Bows 2 can be used to evoke
specific moods and achieve surprising expressive effects.

Sul tasto

Sul tasto

The player places the bow over the end of the fingerboard for a soft, warm sound.

Sul ponticello

Sul ponticello

The player bows right next to the bridge for an eerie, icy, brittle tone, rich in harmonics.

Flageolet

Flageolet

The left hand lightly touches the bowed string, producing glassy overtones.

Col legno

Col legno

The player strikes the strings with the back of the bow for a dry, percussive, sound.

New colors for your strings

Special Bows 2’s extended timbral palette can be used alone, paired with Special Bows 1,
or combined with Berlin Strings or Symphonic Strings to create a comprehensive,
adaptable ensemble of uncommon depth.

Like all products in the Berlin Series, Special Bows 2 was recorded at Berlin’s
Teldex Scoring Stage with all players seated in their traditional orchestral positions.
Multiple mic placements (Decca Tree, AB omni, a choice of spots, and surround) ensure a
balanced, spatially coherent sound that gels beautifully with other Orchestral Tools
collections.
