Zeno, If the Jarvinen in question has the first name Art, he is on our composition faculty and I will ask him about the EBow.? For now, I'm going to venture a guess that he wanted actual bows as I described in a previous post, but I will find out for sure from the proverbial horses...well, you get the idea.? Just out of curiosity, are you doing all of this footwork as a favor to the performer(s)?? As piano conservator?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I'm still trying to track down the conductor so I can see what the score says about how to go about it, but I think that the caution tape and the EBow will be pretty good alternatives to whatever it is he has in mind. The piece is called Vultures, by Jarvinen. I see on the E-Bow website that John Cage has used this gadget on harps, not pianos. Thanks again, Zeno Wood Brooklyn College ________________________________________________________________________ Email and AIM finally together.
