<div> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Zeno,<br> <br> 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.  <br> <br> Just out of curiosity, are you doing all of this footwork as a favor to the performer(s)?  As piano conservator?<br> <br> Thanks,<br> <br> Alan Eder<br> </font></div> <div> <br> </div> -----Original Message-----<br> From: Zeno Wood <zeno.wood@gmail.com><br> To: College and University Technicians <caut@ptg.org><br> Sent: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 8:48 am<br> Subject: Re: [CAUT] Bowing piano strings?<br> <br> <div id="AOLMsgPart_0_0a9fbd2c-82e9-4c76-bba8-95c81457e23c" style="margin: 0px; font-family: Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> <pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
