I built one of these. It eats up violin bows ! Be warned !

Actually, with a little technique and sandpaper, you'll find the daxophone is no harder on your bow than steel viol strings.

@rwmerlot777 He has some sort of loop pedal that's hooked up to the contact mics.

d-a-x-o dot d-e

you can't buy them, but there's a PDF on how to make one. Warning. The site is very odd!

[rwmerlot777]

[Alucard33592]

@STNKbone its a stick something to hold the stick in place a wood block and a violin bow in short your answer is no

[STNKbone]

This is pretty much the greatest thing ever. Are these expensive to make?

[TheMichaelPot]

This is painful to ones ears!

[dudesons441]

you could probably use a video camera tripod and somehow attatch the little thing that screws into the bottom of the camera into the wooden block thing

[farenheit451]

Can you be in my band?

[lvgraham]

I adore the dax and this is the best demonstration I have ever seen online. Hans is so cryptic on his web site, but what would you expect? Thanks for this post.

This dude is awesome ... saw him in some guitar event.

I`ve had Hans reichel as my ringtone for absolutely ages-He appeared on the launch programme for all night TV in the UK way back in 1981.And was just gorgeous...Marc,where do you get the stands et al for the dachsaphone?.
