Hi Virna,

sorry, but I don't have a clue which music stores in New York have one in stock ...?
But you could go there http://www.klangfarbe.at/ (just type "e-bow" into the search engine) phone them and let them send it too you.
I suppose that shipping costs wont be too high from Austria to Italy?!

regards hoerli

Thanks Hoerli,

I'll try to contact this Austrian store.... here in Rome I found two stores that sell the new version of the E-bow for around $200, anyone knows how much would cost in USA? From Austria I guess would be more or less the same price including VAT and shipping....

I thought it was easier to find it in USA but it seems not so easy at all

thanks
ciao

It looks like they are hard to get now in the US. Most sites listing they say they are out of stock.

This company shows in stock, but who knows.

New version? Is there a newer version than the E-bow + that was introduced some 10 years ago?

If you find one, if might be good to buy it whereever you find it. I found some info on E-bow´s swedish distrubutors website. They write that they are out of e-bows and that the company that makes them has taken a "time-out" and they dont know if/when they´ll get new ones in stock. And this was about a year ago....... So if you find one, buy it. It seems like Thomann has them in stock for 99 EUR. Order one there. Thomann is a very good webstore and I´ve bought things from them several times.

Good luck//Jan Hellman/Sweden

Have you tried eBay? I can't check at work because the site is blocked, but all sorts of musical equipment shows up there.

Hi Virna and Happy New Year.
Sam Ash on 48 St in NY always carried the E-Bow. They used to cost around $80 US
We always see the E-Bow guys at NAMM. The main dude who demos, is also a Stick owner.

Just found out that Thomann are out of e-bows as well even if their website says that they have them in stock. So no luck there. Sorry.

I just sent a modified third-generation E-bow to Virna this afternoon. Not as nice as the fourth generation, but the modification will work well on her fretless. If anyone steals that one, they will never be able to use it live without getting caught, just look for someone with with an E-bow with sanded-flush grooves on it

Looking at some of those websites, "Good Grief"!!!! Some were advertising list prices beyond the stated $120 list price on http://www.Ebow.com. I got mine for $80, which a couple of websites were also listing these for. I liked the one that said "List $135, now $129"

Seems like E-bows are manufactured again, for those who are interested. I´ve found them in several places here in Scandinavia and they have them in stock at Thomann and other on-line music stores as well. I´m sure they can be found in USA now too.They´ve been just impossible to get ahold of for some time now so this is good news I´d say.
