The commuted synthesis technique can be extended to bowed strings in special case of ``ideal'' bowed attacks. Here, an ideal attack is defined as one in which Helmholtz motion is instantly achieved. This technique will be called ``linear commuted synthesis'' of bowed strings.
Additionally, the linear commuted-synthesis model for bowed strings can driven by a separate nonlinear model of bowed-string dynamics. This gives the desirable combination of a full range of complex bow-string interaction behavior together with an efficiently implemented body resonator.
