additional flageolet-note marks Explanation: The flageolet-notes are sounds that can be generated by gently touching the string as it is "plucked" or played. Depending on what spot of the string is touched, sounds of different pitch can be generated. The "additional marks" referred to are likely templates that are placed underneath the strings, indicating where to touch to get a particular pitch. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2006-08-16 11:31:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- These "flute notes", as they are more commonly called, are used in guitar tuning and playing as well. The most common flute notes are played when the string is touched on the 5th, 7th, and 12th fret (NOT pressed, just lightly touched). On electric guitars you can generate these notes more easily, and are used in guitar playing as well (my favorite example of this is on "La Villa Strangiato" by Rush...) . To specify, I would translate the line as ADDITIONAL FLAGEOLET-NOTE MARK TEMPLATES I think that this would be the most descriptive phrase. |
