  Articulation and vibrato on the violin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Sul ponticello contrasts with sul tasto: in the latter, the string is bowed over the fingerboard, which is unusually far from the bridge.
The first spectrum is for a note played sul ponticello, obtained from the sound files shown in oscillograms above: note the weak fundamental and the strong harmonics.
Sul tasto means 'on the fingerboard': the string is bowed over the fingerboard, near the end.

 Acoustic properties of strings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Even when the form of excitation is established, there are differences in harmonic content depending upon the location of excitation on the string.
If a violin is bowed close to the bridge (sul ponticello) then the sound is brighter with more harmonic content.
In addition to the string properties and the method of excitation of strings, the sound timbre is significantly affected by resonances in the body of the instrument itself.

Because of the effect it has on timbre the place where the bow should make contact with the string is often written into the score.
Sulla tastiera (or sul tasto, sur la touche meaning on the fingerboard), sul ponticello (on the bridge).
Most playing techniques are possible both sul ponticello and sulla tastiera.

 Prleude Tab by Fryderyk Chopin @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
The piece seems so stark sometimes that it is hard to avoid arpeggiating almost every chord, but this would take away from the effect of arpegiating the 4th measure.
Instead of this, I play most of the chords sul diapason and emphasize certain chords by playing sul ponticello.
For example, the first two chords in the second measure sound great sul ponticello and then gradually work your way back sul diapason.

 Caltabiano: Lyric Duo, for Viola and Harp
Dividing the three groups of variations are two development sections based on the slower theme.
These sections are at times lush and melodic, and occasionally colorfully pointillistic, with sul ponticello and sul tasto pizzicato passages in the viola and harmonics at the twelfth in the harp.
The large structure, including tempi and tonal centers, as well as most of the surface rhythm, are a result of my initial research into a rhythmic organization similar in some ways to Wuorinen's time point system.

 Musical Observations: Publications: Cambridge Companion
Cases where one is required to 'jump' strings while still preserving a melodic line are usually more of a musical or perceptual problem, as opposed to a timbral or production one.
What distinguishes this century's usage, and creates the problem for us, is how brief the durations are between changes from one type of right-arm use to another.
bow vs. pizzicato (hand-grip change), normal bow position vs. ponticello (horizontal-plane change), and normal bow pressure vs. flautando (vertical-plane change) as opposed to the single horizontal dimension change of the Haydn (normal bow position vs. ponticello).

 Bass: bowing
When only col legno is indicated, players often use tratto but engaging an amount of the hair of the bow.
An unmeasured tremolo (usually indicated with the word trem) is a very rapid alternation of up and down bows.
Played on a single string until otherwise indicated, thus sul G, sul D, sul A, sul E. Lends a particular colour to the timbre.

 String instrument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Application of the bow close to the bridge (known as sul ponticello) produces an intense, sometimes harsh sound, which acoustically emphasizes the upper harmonics.
Bowing above the fingerboard (sul tasto) produces a purer tone with less overtone strength, emphasizing the fundamental, also known as flautando, since it sounds less reedy and more flute-like.
Similar timbral distinctions are also possible with plucked string instruments by selecting an appropriate plucking point, although the difference is perhaps more subtle.

sul ponticello on the bridge; i.e., in string playing, an indication to bow (or sometimes to pluck) very near to the bridge, producing a characteristic glassy sound, which emphasizes the higher harmonics at the expense of the fundamental; the opposite of sul tasto

 A Case Study of the Bernard Herrmann Style
Herrmann also avoids the traditional use of vibrato in strings, instructing players to play non vibrato unless otherwise noted, the reverse of the usual practice, and frequently instructing the performers to play sul ponticello, with the bow near the bridge, which increases the high harmonics and creates a drier, more gritty sound.
In "The Airplane" as Eve is about to board the plane with Van Damm, the violins play the same figure repeatedly, but in a rapid succession of sul tasto ("with taste," or near the fingerboard, the opposite of ponticello), sul ponticello, and sul naturale (in between, or "natural").
Herrmann also avoids the use of tremolo in the strings, another technique that had become a clichŽ in suspense films.
