Here it is, for those who don't know...

If you are looking for a violin kind of sound - get it. If you are looking for a new sound - get it. This thing is so neat... I love it! I was pretty skeptical, but thought I'd check it out anyway.... I do believe that I will always have one.
I'll post a sound clip soon (a day or two) but let me just say - it is a clear, unmistakably bowed string sound, loud and clear and musical. It works on electric or acoustic. It's NOT a scam, even though it costs $30, there are no sound samples on the website, and the website itself looks cheesy. (and there's no refund policy) Anyhow, I gotta run - but I just wanted to tell you guys about it.
I highly recommend this thing to all guitar and bass players everywhere. On guitar, it sounds like a violin, on bass, it sounds like a cello. (obviously not exactly like it, but the general timbre, feel, attack, and decay are the same)

Two things I should point out about this recording... first, you can't do any long, drawn-out notes with the bow, since it's about 3 inches long. (about 8 centimeters for you metric folks) Secondly, if you hear me pretty much sawing on the string, that's because I'm not that great at it yet, I just got it. I've never played a bowed instrument.
