So I was thinking about writing a piece for the April competition for cello. I was thinking of having two cellos play a unique melody each on a separate string where they would do a pull-off into the open string. I know with the guitar that this can sound pretty good (AC/DC Thunderstruck anyone?) but the cello being a bowed string instrument I figure it might be a little more mushy in sound. Basically I was curious to know if it was possible to do this and if anyone could point me in the direction of musical examples.

The only example of pull-offs/hammer-ons that I know of for a cello is from Julie-O by Mark Summer:

(Check it out around 1:26)

Awesome piece! That answered my question perfectly. I think that I can pull something off with that example (no pun intended). Thanks a bunch for the help!
