Definition

  1. 1
    Soltarlo del sitio en donde estaba firme, poco a poco o bruscamente. Cuando se hace del primer modo suele indicarse por la frase largar sobre vuelta, lo cual significa dar una o varias vueltas al cabo sobre la cornamusa, bitón, etc., e ir soltando a medida que la tracción que por el extremo sufre el cabo obliga a éste a correr venciendo el frotamiento y el esfuerzo de retenida que se hace en el otro extremo. Cuando se hace de la segunda manera se dice largar en banda.
