Re: question on bowing

[Mark Sottilaro <sine@zerocrossing.net>]

I'm not sure if this would help anyone, but I saw a street performer in 
Berkeley
CA a few weeks ago and he was playing a hammer dulcimer.  However, he 
seemed to
have a few special hammers that had a crescent shaped end that must have 
been
coated with rosin or the equivalent.  With this setup, he was able to get 
both
hammered and bowed sounds.  It was VERY cool.  I could not help but think 
of the
possibilities of this on electric guitar.  I do love my ebow, though.  
Especially
now that it has a blue LED!
