Favourite musical gadgets (except your BR !! )

[Bosko Schwartz]

I love percussion. Sleigh bells are my fave, but they are so expensive I haven't picked any up yet. I had an egg shaker once, but a friend ruined it because he thought there was candy inside

Huh?  Was your friend's name Rain Man, by any chance?

just got this cos i cant afford a real synthesiser huvae a scooby how it works tho, bin messing with its kaossilator thingymyjiggbit setting is fun but nothing very musical as yet.

I just got this too.  It's kind of annoying, actually.  Can't seem to get any real music out of it.  Probably because I am an impatient bastard.

What the shit is an e-bow, cuthbert???

Bosko, you sound a bit like my old pal Hank Chinaski there!  

E-bow is brandspeak for 'electronic/energy bow'. Basically, it's an electro-magnetic device you hold with your strum hand that causes a steel string to vibrate so fast that it sounds like a continuous bowing sound. There are lots of harmonics generated from this vibration as well. And as you move it closer to a pickup, the bowed sound volume dramatically increases.

And it's very easy to get out-of-control feedback with an e-bow...

This e-bow thing sounds kind of cool.  Do you have any recordings to share in which you have used it?  How about any known existing recordings that use this?
