[CAUT] Bowing piano strings?

[reggaepass at aol.com]

 Zeno,

If the Jarvinen in question has the first name Art, he is on our composition faculty and I will ask him about the EBow.? For now, I'm going to venture a guess that he wanted actual bows as I described in a previous post, but I will find out for sure from the proverbial horses...well, you get the idea.? 

Just out of curiosity, are you doing all of this footwork as a favor to the performer(s)?? As piano conservator?

Thanks,

Alan Eder

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.  I'm still trying to track down
the conductor so I can see what the score says about how to go about
it, but I think that the caution tape and the EBow will be pretty good
alternatives to whatever it is he has in mind.  The piece is called
Vultures, by Jarvinen.

I see on the E-Bow website that John Cage has used this gadget on
harps, not pianos.

Thanks again,
