Should ricochet bowing be included here? Turidoth 21:19, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Title is wrong

Spicatto is wrong: it should be Spiccato! I would have corrected it but I don't know how you can correct article titles! Can someone do it for me? Thanks.

And I agree - just trying to do the same, but not finding an edit option for the title. AB

[edit] spic. at the tip of the bow?

Since when is spicatto played at the tip of the bow? It's played at or near the balance point of the stick. J Lorraine 07:36, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Yanked it. One more mystery: why should we "see also" piccare, which, we're told, is Latin for "pick"? What's this got to do with spiccato? +ILike2BeAnonymous 07:59, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that is odd. I suppose it's some etymological twist of fate that adding an "s" to the latin for "pick" makes the latin for "spiccato" while adding an "s" to the english for "pick" makes, uh, ... "spick" ....  ???? I will take it out. J Lorraine 09:04, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
