Subject:eBow: adding a new brush to your sound palette
Overall:

QUALITY:
The package has all you need - eBow, small instructional booklet with extensive list of tips, audio tape with examples. Once you insert the battery, you're ready to play.

FEATURES:
This is eBow plus, which is the 4th version. Having the switch between normal sound and harmonics is a nice add-on. "Cool" blue LED helps when you're playing in the dark (position of the eBow with respect to the pick-up is crutial so seeing the distance helps).

EASE OF USE:
It's easy to get started. I was afraid that it will take some 'trickery' to get the right sound and I'll get discurage before I get to know how to play it but that wasn't the case. You have to practice however to get full control and take advantage of eBow's potential. Like they say in the instructions - volume changes can be drastic.

VALUE:
I got it when it was on sale for $79 so it's not too bad however I think that something as small and simple (no real elect

Quality: Worked perfectly and dependably within a minute of unpacking it.
Reliability: So far so good.
Overall: I love it!
Playability and Feel: N/A
Tone: I use my Ebow with piano, and it works beautifully. It doesn't quite fit the width of piano strings (but it's not designed to), but the tone is lovely.
Finish: Good - though it should be noted that it's black and not white as pictured.

Subject:I love my Ebow :)
Overall:

QUALITY:
Its made out of plastic...but a tough plastic. I mean, you hold it in your hand so you want it to remain light...so I have no problem with it, but I do think if it was dropped on a hard floor there would probably be some damage. For what it is though, no complaints.

FEATURES:
Simple, two settings...standard and extra harmonic. I always seem to use the harmonic side. Very "Pumpkin-esque".

EASE OF USE:
Simple...hold over string. :)

VALUE:
Definitely worth its price. Its found its way onto some of my newer recordings already after a couple weeks.

SOUND:
Smooth, basicly it just gives an endless sustain to your original signal through the standard setting, and the harmonic setting pinches the signal quite well. Pretty sounds either way.

STYLE:
Electronic/prog-rock

MUSIC EXPERIENCE:
10 years guitar/drums/keys/programming/bass, etc etc.
