No matter what Rachel reviews, you can always tell by her facial expression - before she speaks - whether or not she likes or dislikes the feature she's talking about. I suggest that you never play poker for money. Loving the channel.
I bet you thought they'd send you a "guitar beau"! 😊 I feel this thing maybe would work in making ambient/minimalist/noise music. I'm thinking effects, etc. And I would have liked to see if you can manage to play two strings at the same time. You know, at a very low angle? Anyways. Always fun to watch and listen. Cheers, friend!
Thanks Steph. Yes it could be fun with effects etc. Maybe on an older cheaper electro acoustic but it’s a shame you have to use such short bow strokes. 👍
Hi Chris, yep it’s a company that sent me a ukulele hanger previously. I really wasn’t sure what it was they going to send so it was an interesting review. Definitely glad you didn’t spend $65 on one. Hope you are keeping well? 😊
Hmmm! Thanks for posting this video - I am a sucker for gadgets like this so sort of glad it didn't work - reckon that if I had come across it for sale online I may well have given in to temptation 🙂. When the video started, it took me back to thinking how 10CC in the 70s set about using a kind of bowing machine for the electric guitar- they called it a GIZMO (features on their Sheet Music album I seem to remember).
What about playing on the 1st string Rachel legato I think it's called or playing a guitar where there's more room internally check out a Mr James Page esquire?? Looks interesting...😊😊
Hi Rachel. Try it with a semi acoustic uke and add some effects. , also, have you tried it across the front of the uke , across all the strings the same way you would a violin. Be interesting to see how that works.
Hi Lorraine, yes I think it would be very cool with some effects and a bit of practice. Just not sure if I can cope with the stick strings on one of my electric ukes. It won’t work across the strings because they are flat unlike the violin or cello that had an arched bridge. I did think about it! 👍
Yes it does look very sticky and messy , so I know what you mean not wanting to get it on your uke. Probably not worth the bother. I was forgetting the violin is arched . I've seen smaller versions of those bows , which may be better for a uke.
I saw this on another video somewhere. But the person was playing on an actual guitar. It may be good for making special effects sounds, but not practical for anything else.
Totally impractical on a solid body Uke or even some of the acoustic ones with no conventional soundhole. Personally I can't even see much application with a Guitar. I have a Uke with a radiused fretboard which of course includes the same radius atnut and saddle but not as much as on a traditionally bowed instrument so I have to ask, why did they bother ? I think the e bow is probably a bit more practical. 🤔🙄
Yes, would love to try an Ebow. I did think twice about posting the video but thought it might actually stop some people wasting Monet, plus it was a bit of fun. 👍
Why don't you hold it like a double bass ant try it across the face of all the strings...of course the strings are flat not curved so probably won't make a difference
