Occassionally, I'll play around with a cheap violin bow on different 
things.
I really like it on a "Wobble Board", a kid's toy that I play like a 
musical
saw.  I stick a piezo pickup on it.  Bowed marimba and glockespiel sound
cool, too.  One of the nastiest sounds is a bowed gopi-yantra (or
gopi-chadra) with the string very loose and played through a old E-H Big
Muff.  It makes nails-on-the-chalkboard sound melodious!
