Oh also if you play a bowed instrument and loop come join the conversation at Alternative Strings and Fiddle Forum http://www.fiddleforum.com/fiddleforum -----Original Message----- From: Paolo Valladolid [mailto:paolovalladolid@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 2:58 PM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: Re: Daevid Allen/glissando guitar This one probably ain't much cheaper: http://bowedguitar.com/ I'm guessing we're a ways off before Musician's Friend offers cheap knockoffs of bowed guitars, just like they now have knockoffs of Music Man guitars, etc. Still, I (and Alan K no doubt) have seen this luthier hanging out on the Fiddle Forum and he seems to have really done his homework on bowed guitars and the history behind them.
