The only problem with the post being copied is that there was an inaccurate detail -- namely that the Moog Guitar does NOT use "ebow technology" -- that is, "Ebow" is a tradename. The technology is able to add or subract energy from a vibrating string however it is Moog's own technology and not Ebow's. This was an honest mistake and I am mortified that my post was not completely accurate. Quoting posts can be uh... shall was say "dangerous living". On my website, I did an intentionally over-the-top rendition of the Schubert Ave Maria with equally over-the-top silly notes: http://kevinkissinger.com/schubert.shtml Well, guess what? Another website picked up the notes and posted it in a SERIOUS article about Franz Schubert. Apparently someone tipped them off that the notes were a joke for I can't find the site on Google anymore. -- Kevin
