Aescher Europa Resonators

[Uncle Grandfather]

Anyone have any experience with these polyphonic handheld ebow-like resonators? The mounted versions look pretty sweet too.

Is it $600?

Is it $600?

Yeah looks like they are $$$ but still very intriguing for me.

Thanks for your post, interesting to hear reports from an actual user!
What can you do more with two E30's in one unit then, play two strings at the same time or something?
Is it the same type of technique as the Ebow, easier or more difficult?

[D.o.S.]

Holy shit what a fist post.

Ah, got it.
Only adjacent strings on the E10 so it seems though and the D1 drone can only have either the LPF or the HPF modes, it's not available with both modes.
Strange that they don't include a footswitch of some kind with the D1 to turn it on and off more easily.

Right right, lots of money though, they should get a bigger manufacturer involved or something, those handheld thingy's maybe but the rest is really too rich for my blood.

I'm not sure, I consider that mostly a bit of marketing talk really.

There's a new video online:

Sounds nice but seems especially useful on bass, I'm amazed how big the difference is between bass and guitar, on a guitar it doesn't seem much better or different from an Ebow really.

Well, another video, this time with a polyphonic thingamajig:

I dunno, the sound of both seems to cancel eachother out, it's too much like a guitar on the the top string and some cheesy organ on the bottom string.
Seems like an overpriced meh kinda thing to me, though the sounds with the pedal steel are nice (reminds me of an Ondes Martenot a bit).
