Thanks for the quick response Ed. The expoxy was quite invisible in the photo. Does the Elemental come in light weight? If I remember right from your website...
Laurie - we're not ready to make a high tension Elemental bow. I'll need to make that known on the website. And you can use our regular tension Incredibows...
We hope you have survived the holidays and are ready for a good new year. We both are recovering from a severe case of "crud" with high fever, congestion and...
Thanks Ed. Your comments are very helpful. Does the Elemental come in featherweight? - Laurie ... need to make that known on the website. And you can use our...
... Arggghhhh! I'm just catching up on e-mail (result of power outage for 8 days plus a death in my family) and I see this. It's too bad that there's not more...
Are either of the ones you mention on your "Specials" page featherweight? Or maybe I should ask what weight are these 2? ... I actually kind of like...
Relief, huh? I understand Ed said he would build you one whenever you like. I knew he would. So, now that is solved, you were without electricity for 8 days!...
I hope you didn't have only an electric instrument during your blackout. As I learned when we were without electricity for a week after 9/11, there is still a...
... No electric instrument, though I've been lusting after one. If anyone knows of the electric violin equivalent of Incredibow, post suggestions to the list!...
Ed, are you listening? Maybe you can put onto the back burners of your mind the question of how to make an electric violin that matches the Incredibow. An...
There are some really cool electric violins now on the market. We wouldn't even try to compete with them. I like those with just the outline frame of the...
Hey Ed and Laurie, Just thought I'd kick these in for thought and FWIW. I've got one of those Yamaha Silent violins. Like Ed said, it's mostly the outline of...
After writing that list bit I found myself wondering. By coincidence, just last night I learned that Google has added patent search to it array of finding...
... If you put the term in quotes (i.e., "violin bow"), it drop to 226 patents, which is slightly more manageable. Note that there's been a lot of discussion...
I know. That's way too many. When would we have time to actually play music? Sith the "Advanced Search" looking for "Violin Bow" in the patent title I've...
... Absolutely. In fact, it's the interplay of the resonance of the bow with that of the violin that produces the kind of (hopefully) pleasant sound we'd like...
We're enoyig this discussion on bows, electric violins, patents, etc. Thanks for your collective wisdom and experience. We won't be making violins for sure...
Emily, you might check out The Violin Explained: Components Mechanism and Sound, by James Beament, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1997. Although like Cremer, Prof....
... Thanks for the excellent leads. I can get the Beament book through interlibrary loan at my university library. It appears that the Berg manufacturer is...
... But I forgot to add: A satisfactory carbon nanotube bow, even if it can be made, has no chance of competing with the Incredibow. You see, nanotubes cost...
Thanks for posting about the Beamont book: http://www.amazon.com/Violin-Explained-Components-Mechanism-Sound/dp/0198167393 The Cremer appears to be out of the...

I posted a picture of Peter Stamphel of the Holy Modal Rounders from a show last Saturday Night in Portland, OR. The picture shows off the "psycedelic" nature...
I don't know this from experience, but Mark Wood's electric violins are a perfect match to the Incredibow. http://www.woodviolins.com ... suggestions to ... ...
I may be acting like the science fiction writer I am, but in the near future, I forsee nanotubes plummeting in price. Demand will increase, supply will...
Hey Ed, Just wondering whether you got my mail or not. I've been having problems with my email recently. Cheers, m www.madfiddler.co.uk / www.gamesounds.co.uk...
