Helmholtz motion of a bowed string shot with high FPS camera. The stick-slip action between the bow hair and the string is clearly visible.

  • very very interesting! Is it possible to get a shot looking up from underneath or is the angle too difficult?

  • @paulnord looks like a cello string, maybe 5000 fps?

  • supercool. this is why there's no inharmonicity with bowed strings, and why it makes a near-sawtooth movement in the bridge.

  • hence the sawtooth like waveform _|\_|\_|\_|\_

  • Very nice. How fast is the video?

    What's the pitch of your string?

  • Wow. That really makes you think.

  • Awesome. They should have put more rosin on the bow so that the dust flies off in every direction
