French translation:Pas trop d'archet !
Explanation:
Difficile à dire sans plus de contexte...
Je dirais que le chef d'orchestre demande aux cordes de ne pas donner trop d'archet, c’est-à-dire ne pas tirer sur toute la longueur mais utiliser juste la pointe ou le talon pour jouer les notes très courtes.

Peu d'archet !


Explanation:
Suggestion
Le chef d'orchestre demande d'utiliser une petite portion d'archet (ce qui, pour une même durée de note, équivaut à une faible vitesse d'archet)
