I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing.  You seem to be talking
about changing the number of kolos, or the length of the kolos.  RZF does
not change those, but only the pitch during the kol - he starts with the low
note, goes to the harmonic, and goes back to the low note.

In RZF's case, I don't think it's a brisker thing.  The way I heard it, it's
just that he thinks that sounds more like a shever or crying than straight
notes without the pitch modulation.
