128 Fifth: Pick up the palmar strings with the index fingers as in Opening A (Fig. 283).

Sixth: With the thumb and index of the right hand pick up the string on the back of the left hand, lift it over the tips of the left fingers, and let it drop on the

palmar side. With the thumb and index of the left hand pick up the string on the back of the right hand, lift it over the tips of the right fingers, and let it drop on the palmar side.
