How to make this sound?

[yuhongmei123]

I know how to do the horse neigh where you trill with your 3 finger while sliding down, but this neigh is different . . . much more realistic, and it seems like his bow is bouncing while it happens.



Can anyone tell me how to do this technique??

I can't say I have ever made that sound on purpose, but it is pretty cool in the tune. It looks like he starts on a harmonic, or at least a very high note, and then pushes the bow hard against the string in short bursts. I don't know if I can offer any more advice though than your own eyes and ears. Good luck with it, and have fun!

Best wishes,

David

Hello,

I made a short video of how I make that sound, which i`m not sure if it`s the proper way or not but it kinda sounds like a horse?

All of this is happening in the highest part of the inner string.
1- When you slide down you use normal bow pressure (pull) (0:07)

2- You do a lot of short strokes using the same bow stroke (push) for this part you have to put a lot of pressure on the bow, enough so that it squeaks
I don't know if that made sense, but it's like if you have to play this |2222 2222 | 2222 2222 | but only by pushing your bow for each separate note, and no pulling (0:11)

3- To make it more extra you slide your finger back up a little when you do step 2

Then voila, after that it's all up to your personal taste, you can make some less high sounds, some higher sounds, mix them, slower, faster. Your horse is unique.
If you still don't get it I can show you on skype.

I don't mean the richochet, I mean the horse neigh sound Professor Yu makes after the skipping bow
