5. The “skipping” stroke. This stroke is made at the middle of the bow, which must be lightly held between the fingers and controlled by the wrist. The stick is made to vibrate strongly, whereby the bow is caused to move up and down. It is difficult to attain an agreement between the placing of the fingers and the skipping movement of the stick, for which reason this bowing must first be practised on one note:—

Afterwards several notes may be taken on one string, then on the different strings.
