**Du talon** is a French term used in music, specifically in violin playing, to indicate playing with the bow hair at the heel or bottom part of the bow, closest to the hand. It is similar to the terms "at the frog" or "at the nut," which also refer to playing music using the bottom part of the bow . The heel of the bow is the part that is held by the violinist's hand, while the frog is the part of the bow that is closer to the strings. Playing du talon produces a different sound and can be used to achieve specific musical effects.
