  • 1000 pF capasitor ))

  • OK, I understood that you need an 8 ohm and 50 ohm coil, but after you remove the copper, what do you do? Do you just connect them with wires and run a 9V battery through them?

  • yeah, you only ned to remove cover of coil and then install coil to circuit...

  • I have bought them at nearest electronics store, it's a EMX-2T01 Series Buzzer

  • Finally the video is here :)

    Are those coils from pc beepers?

  • Yes it's very simmilar, but you need 8ohm and 50 ohm beepers

see all

  • Thank you for sharing! I got this question a couple of days. "How do ebows work?" And I go.

    It got to do with simple feedback. The hard part is to get these beepers.

  • @soniclife19 hi yeah i would really like to know too. can anyone help with this? i see that some of the capacitor ratings are changed from the schematic i found off google. is it supposed to be changed? thanks!

  • @clerlic Nevermind, I found out that it works by reversing the current through the driving coil.

  • Also, do you have an idea how the first harmonic blocking version works? Is it just a high-pass filter or is there something more complicated there?

  • Which way and where should I place the coils physically?

  • @MrViantd LM386 can also be used to amplify radio signals so that's why you are probably recieving a signal. I have this problem on an amplifier I built too.

  • Have you tried doing 6 ebows - 6 sensors & 6 drivers to line up with the strings perhaps around the middle pickup so you get a hexaphonic sustainer guitar ? I would like to try make one after my diy sustainer guitar is done thx Lexusmaxus Singapore

  • Nice job Ivan !! and thank you for share !! ... you should have to commercialize it

  • Hi Ivan,

    nice Song and compliment for the easy instructions - could you even build a moog synthesizer? ;o)

    take a "bow" for you

  • Good video i will make one soon.
