An action done by string players, normally as a means of tracking bowings on a page, practicing without making a sound, or goofing off with/demonstrating for your friends.
Last night, I got so confused by the lack of bowings on the page that I had to go back all the way to rehearsal five, air bowing my way toward where I had been. Thankfully, it worked, and I was able to mark in several bowings in the interim.
