Summary: this is what i know


well, mr. maug, here's what i know.  they supposedly work by some sort of
magnetic means of vibrating the string.  i seem to recall that *someone*
still makes them, but i forget who.  they were real popular in the early 
70's, but when they fell from favor people pretty much stopped making them.
the genuine article (i.e. the Genuine E-Bow (tm) ) goes for about $150, IF
you can find someone who has one they are willing to part with.  i don't 
how much the current ones run, if indeed they are still being made.  

can anyone add to or correct my info.?  inquiring minds want to know...
