Finger Bow
Why let the violinist's have all the fun ? | |
The Finger Bow ($19.95 + taxes) is a motorized nylon disk about the size of a dime and 3mm thick with bevelled edges. Worn on a finger, the device is used to produce bowed string sounds on instruments that aren't built to accomodate (real) bows (ie: guitar, banjo, piano).
Disc rotation speed is
adjustable and the surface of the rounded thick circumference is rougher in the middle and smoother towards the edges for a finer control of the sound.
(due to the fact that I know almost nothing about guitar playing I'm going to skip the mounting details)
[Google'rs beware, it's not an "E-Bow"]

I think I need a visual. Do you mean an entire finger covered in spinning disks? [link] or stationary disks of decreasing size that you rub a bow against? |

Sorta baked around the same time as the ebow (2nd link). |

The general idea might be baked, but yours uses motorised finger discs. Cool. I would have great fun with some of those. Rollerskates for your hamster even. [+] |

[skegger] I sortof had in mind it mounted on the back of a finger on the last joint so you'd curl the finger inwards to play (and it would be out of the way for plucking/strumming) but I've no clue how guitarists do their thing. |

[bs] I think the Ebow is the basis for the new Moog guitar. |
