my name is Jim Dufresne, I'm here to tell you about the ebow and here's the different parts. See that little blue EDLED it has a channel that the string that is driven resides in. And there's two string guides in each side so that fits on there like that, see where that LED is it's driven that string. The LED isn't driving the string it's an electric magnetic force inside the unit that strives the string. The LED access, the guide and I can switch from string to string cause I have string guides and the outside string take more of a challenge to master the technique. Because there's only one string guide it has a two position switch; one for the fundamental harmony, and one for the upper harmonic. See there's the fundamental and you can make your notes swell and volume, you can control the volume by getting it close to the pick up. Then you can back it up a little bit like that you can let it rise up, can you see that, and you can control how much strive you want. You can add some brightness to that pick up and changes character completely.
