Re: OT Ebow casing degradation



Well, the metal has to have some iron/steel content to it too . . . so not 
just any metal.

For instance, the bronze wrapped lower strings of an otherwise nylon 
stringed guitar are not suitable for Ebow.

And the instrument ought to be amplified somehow (the Ebow is too quiet 
for general acoustic use).

The first guitar I ever used on on was an acoustic 12-string (Yamaha 
FG360) with a Bill Lawrence soundhole pickup played through a tiny PigNose 
amp.

I remember putting that amp and a mic in a closed cardboard box with a mic 
-- it sounded waaaaay huge.

The ebow will work quite successfull yon a lot of steel-stringed, 
amplified instruments.

It'll even work pretty well on bass, but begins to have trouble moving the 
massive lower strings.
