The principal broken chords used in violin technic are those founded upon the common triad, the dominant and the diminished seventh chords. The latter is a favorite factor in the writings of a certain school, and when occurring in one particular open position, a-flat below the staff, f in the first space, d on the fourth line and b in the second space above the staff, can be repeated ad infinitum into the upper positions, retaining the hand position assumed when the chord is first attacked, the fingers adjusting themselves only to the shorter intervals of the upper fingerboard as the hand moves upward.

8EXCEPTIONAL TONAL EFFECTS.
10It was shown in an early lesson, that mere beginners could be made observant of the range of tonal possibilities by the way in which they were brought to play the open strings. The ability to produce a tone of some degree of warmth to an open string without the aid of the vibrato must necessarily imply a highly developed use of the bow arm. The various degrees of expression which are made possible by a cultivated right arm technic, complement those which are due to distinct methods of finger application: perfect intonation, with resultant sympathetic vibrations of strings; pressure (vibrato), and other modes of left hand technic which have distinct bearing on tone, intensity and expression.
12That there are other means of producing tonal effects of an exceptional nature, the following unusual varieties give evidence:
