Ondule technique involves

Ondule technique involves

• A. Rapid bouncing near the frog
• B. Smooth legato on one string
• C. Pizzicato
• D. A tremolo-like bow stroke on two adjacent strings

Answer: (D)

Ondule is about creating a tremolo-like effect by rapidly alternating the bow between two adjacent strings, producing a continuous, shimmering double-stop sound. This technique sustains both pitches while the bow moves in a steady, quick back-and-forth pattern, giving that undulating texture. This matches the description of a tremolo-like bow stroke on two adjacent strings. The other options describe different techniques: bouncing near the frog yields a spiccato-style bounce with short notes, smooth legato on one string is continuous on a single string without alternating strings, and pizzicato is plucking the strings.
