This is not a trill, but a tremolo or "trembling sound". It has the effect of a single sustained note, but it is caused by bowing back and forth very rapidly, and with very small motions.

  • A trill is a rapid alternation of 2 adjacent notes whereas a tremolo is a single note or a chord played as described in the answer
