underhand?
Just in case any of you stayed awake whilst I was mentioning stuff about viol bowing and varieties of modern double bass bowing (wrt renaissance singing - see, there was a conncetion) you might have some fun with the wikipedia double bass article - note the opening bits and the sections on bowing.
Or have more fun here at Drawing your bow
Looking forward to great sounds in Byrd next week :-)
