Round 3: Tossup 1

One of these objects owned by Michel Schwalbe (“MI-shell SHVAHL-buh”) was crafted by Dominique Peccatte (“peh-KAHT”), who along with Eugene Sartory was a famed French maker of them. Leopold Stokowski pioneered a “free” style of utilizing these objects in Philadelphia. (-5[2])These objects are quite literally flipped upside down in order to perform the col legno technique. (15[2])(*) Pernambuco wood is often a source material (-5[1])for these objects which possess a “frog” and a “point.” (10[1])Moving these objects (10[1])lightly (10[1])can produce a sautillé (“soh-tee-AY”) stroke. Rosin can be used to amplify the sound these objects produce. For 10 points, name these objects made of horsehair that are used to play string instruments. (10[1])■END■
