[Harp-L] What's a double Stop??

["Mox GOWLAND" <mox.g@xxxxxxxxx>]

 According to :
http://www.angelfire.com/fl4/moneychords/doublestops.html
>A double stop, in music terminology, is the act of playing two notes simultaneously on a stringed instrument, for example a violin, a viola, a cello or a guitar. In performing a double stop, two separate strings are depressed (stopped) by the fingers, and bowed or plucked simultaneously. Double stops are exclusive to stringed instruments; for example, double-stops cannot be performed on wind instruments. <



Smokey-Joe proved them wrong!

>If you were to block one middle note and sound either ONE note on one  
side and TWO notes on the other side (doesn't matter WHICH side) this  
is ALSO a double stop. 

Reason? 

The 'double' is done by the webs at the corners of your mouth.<


But then "they" went on to say :

>Likewise, the triple stop (three strings) and quadruple stop (four strings). 

Collectively, double, triple and quadruple stopping are called multiple stopping. <

Wow !

strictly reserved for U blockers

Quadruple stop?

(Guess this doesn't help - but !!)
