Re: pelt and question on bowing

["Curtis P Seiss" <seisscp@washpost.com>]

i too saw pelt in d.c. --  any droners out there would love pelts use
textures to create vivid and often atonal sound-scapes.   very "visual"
music.
im not sure who, but one of the members used a bow on a tambura...it
sounded fantastic.

question-  any loopers out there use a bow on non-bowed instruments?  or
even non-instruments?  (your pet rats metal cage perhaps?)  ive always been
intrigued by the orchestral saw and the waterfone (sorry for the
spelling...)  anyone loopng a bowed 12' steel i-beam?

i assume when using a bow on a standard 6 string guitar, one would need to
build a 'arch' type bridge...  has anyone done this?

sorry if this post seems elementary,
