Cecil Forsyth, writing in 1914:
"The Fingered Tremolo
"This tremolo, sometimes called the Slurred Tremolo, consists of the
rapid alteration of one note with another by means of the fingers of
the left hand."
It may be that there is a difference of nomenclature between Britain
and the US, but in Britain the two common types of string trems are
known as Bowed and Fingered, and these terms are understood by all
string players.

Can anyone tell me what the French terminology is for finger
tremolo in string instruments?
Thanks

Hi, John. Could you explain the English meaning you understand?
What, in other words, is a "finger tremolo"? It isn't a term this
string player is at all familiar with. Vibrato? Bow pulsation?
All are possible, as is a true tremolo (unmeasured continuously
alternating bow strokes).
