He uses an Ovation on "Froggie's Night Out". :cool: |

A group buy would be cool. It's not that expensive, but it might encourage a bunch of people to try it out... |

| I bought one, Ya know I thought about this a few years ago while doing some Yes stuff on the Bass. there is one of the songs on an early album that is just the harmonics plucked over and over. I thought I might try and make something like this but never got back to it. I sure wish I did.
This guy is going to make a freekin fortune, it is so simple its brilliant! I think I can write some great new stuff on this Baritone with alternate tunings whist using this crazy thing.
He got my $35

The discounts are rather small unless you get quantity and I currently cannot front the amount needed with the small response provided.
Thanks |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Thanks, Al, for trying. To those who have ordered one of these on your own, please give us a report after you have a chance to try it out. I'd be interested if it comes with directions and is all it is promoted to be. This thing reminds me of a vice I bought at a home and garden show years ago. In the demo, the salesman was very slick and had this vice doing everything any garage handyman could ever need. Got the thing home and found it to be very complex and confusing, and I'm one of the more mechanically inclined (so said the Air Force). Started losing pieces and the instructions over the years and finally sold it at a yard sale for pennies on the dollar. That's what I love about home and garden shows. Anybody need a $500 food processor that can make soup and ice cream within the same minute? How about an unused $25 device that washes both sides of a window at the same time? It never dawned on me that it is useless on double pane windows, which is all I have, until I got home. |

| Whoops! must have missed something........... Al I saw your post looked at your message hit the web page liked the product and bought one! Now I sure would have bought one through you if I had one god dam clue you were going to do this? You should have mentioned your proposition in your first message.
With a product like this I and probably a lot of the guys do not read all the posts. What's the point I either like the product or not and if you had a plan I would figure it would be posted right off.
Sorry for missing this, I sure did not do this deliberately. Odds are you would not get 50 people to sign up anyway but I would have put my name on a list to find out. $35 is certainly a little pricy but I really think this is quite a clever device and I like the sound.

| OK got it. Interesting little device. It is not heavy duty and it is not a quick placement device. But if take your time puttin it on and you adjust the downward tension to match your guitar correctly this is kinda fun. I have low action so it is real sensitive to find the right spot that will allow this to make the harmonic and also allow the string to pass under to make the fretted note when you want.
Ingenious Simplistic Design ! I have to go back and see his style of picking now to get a better start on my own experimentation. The sky is the limit on this, as you can harmonic one or all the strings anyway you wish.
Expensive for what it is but hey you might write the next great work from our time with it?? |
