well, mr. maug, here's what i know. they supposedly work by some sort of
magnetic means of vibrating the string. i seem to recall that *someone*
still makes them, but i forget who. they were real popular in the early
70's, but when they fell from favor people pretty much stopped making them.
the genuine article (i.e. the Genuine E-Bow (tm) ) goes for about $150, IF
you can find someone who has one they are willing to part with. i don't
how much the current ones run, if indeed they are still being made.
can anyone add to or correct my info.? inquiring minds want to know...
