acoustic ebow experiences?

[Stephen <dakshah@yahoo.com>]

Sounds like there are a number of ebow fans here :-)
....reading the ebow's faq, it is oriented towards
electric guitar in that its behavior is changed
depending on the type of and position in relationship
to the pick up.

I was thinking on using it on an acoustic stringed
instrument (a tamboura, if you must know)...they give
it the nod for use on acoustic instruments, but not
much information on what to expect except that there
is no 'hot spot', so some the playing styles would not
work, and it will be quieter.

Anyone have any experience with acoustic applications
for this gizmo?  btw, if you're *realllllly*
interested in the ebow, here is all the patent
information, pretty pictures and all :
