Bouncing Technique
Here are some techniques of bouncing the plectrum ('Bachi') on the strings. For this, you can use either the base or the side-edge of the Bachi.
Bouncing with the base of the Bachi
Bouncing Bachi
Bouncing with the base of the Bachi ('Suso') on all strings. This sample shows this style of bouncing at various locations on the strings (starting from near the bridge to a higher position, respectively numbered as P1 until P4).
Bouncing with the side-edge of the Bachi
Bouncing Fuchi on 1st string
Bouncing with the side of the Bachi ('Fuchi') on the 1st string. This sample demonstrates one bouncing action followed by an extended, drone-like bouncing on a crescendo and decrescendo dynamic.
