E-Bow

For E-Bow we have a term and definition in Music.



E-bow (Music)

A small, hand-held electromagnetic device that magnetically vibrates metal strings, resulting in a continuous sound similar to playing with a violin bow. Bill Nelson, Carl Weingarten, The Cocteau Twins, and Love Spirals Downwards all employ the E-Bow for various effects, from constant sustain, to backward-sounding melodies. Michael Brook expanded on the idea and built his "Infinite Guitar" which uses a similar technique to excite all the strings on a guitar at once without a hand-held device.
