Re: Acoustic e-bow
Title: Re: Acoustic e-bow
It works on any string that has sufficient magnetic content. If you move it up and down the string, you'll find points where the effect is much stronger (node points, or something). Electric guitars often have pickups at one of these points, but they're a physical property of a tense string, so they will be present on acoustic instruments. Remember though, if the strings on your instrument aren't sufficiently magnetic, you'll have problems getting a strong response.

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."
