Hello all. I have an ambitious new project on the fiddle - Massanet's Meditation from Thais - that I want to learn for my mom's wedding. There are two notes at the end that have little circles written above them, and somebody told me that these are harmonics. I didn't know you could play harmonics on the fiddle.

So how do you? I'm guessing that you just touch the string like harmonics on a guitar; do you bow normally? Also, where approximately should I be touching the strings, and what is the pitch I'm aiming for?

The notes in question are A (the one a sixth above middle C) and D (a ninth above middle C).

Thank you!
