Bowtel is a noun that refers to a type of stringed musical instrument. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and is commonly found in traditional Celtic folk music. The word "bowtel" is derived from the combination of two words: "bow" for the act of playing the instrument with a bow and "hotel," which was used to describe the shape of the instrument. The instrument is characterized by its long, narrow and cylindrical shape, resembling that of a small hotel or inn.
The bowtel typically consists of a wooden body, often made from a single piece of wood, hollowed out to create a resonating chamber. It has four or more strings, which are usually made from horsehair or synthetic material, stretched over the body. The strings are played with a bow, similar to that used in playing a violin or cello. The bowtel produces a unique and resonant sound, often described as rich, warm, and haunting.
Traditionally, the bowtel was played by drawing the bow across the strings, producing melodic and rhythmic patterns. Over time, different playing techniques have developed, giving the instrument versatility in producing various tones and expressive effects. The bowtel has found its place in both solo and ensemble performances, contributing to the vibrant and diverse world of Celtic music.
