Berlin Strings
Special Bows 1
Unlock new textures with Special Bows 1โa dedicated collection of unconventional articulations and playing styles.
From sul tastoโs subtle warmth to sul ponticelloโs icy edge, these non-standard techniques can evoke singular moods
and inspire your compositions in unexpected ways.
With 8 first violins, 6 second violins, and 5 violasโall captured in situ with multiple mics, for a vivid,
realistic soundstageโSpecial Bows 1 can add unexpected nuance and depth to your arrangements. For even more
striking results, pair it with the celli and basses of Special Bows 2. Together, theyโre anything but your
typical string section.
Highlights
About the playing techniques
The unusual playing styles in Special Bows 1 can be used to evoke
specific moods and achieve surprising expressive effects.
Sul tasto
The player places the bow over the end of the fingerboard for a soft, warm sound.
Sul ponticello
The player bows right next to the bridge for an eerie, icy, brittle tone, rich in harmonics.
Flageolet
The left hand lightly touches the bowed string, producing glassy overtones.
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 1โs extended timbral palette can be used alone, paired with Special Bows 2,
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 1 was recorded at Berlinโs 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.
