Acknowledging applause for violin playing (6)
I believe the answer is:
bowing
This could be a double definition.
'acknowledging applause' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'violin playing' is the second definition.
'bowing' can be an answer for 'playing' (bowing is a kind of playing). I'm unsure of the 'violin' bit.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bowing that I've seen before include "deforming with age" , "Playing stringed instrument" , "musical technique" , "Bending" , "Acknowledging applause" .)
