I. They use a bow (made of horeshair) and pull it back and forth across the string to make vibrations. these vibrations are transfered from the string to the bridge and into the resenator box (the body). The sound then comes out of the f holes. ---Playing with a bow is known as ARCO

II. They can also pluck the strings rather like a guitar. ---plucking the strings is called Pizzacato or Pizz. for short.

Lots of music will switch between arco and pizz.
