==Function== The EBow uses a [[Pickup (music technology)|pickup]] and a [[Feedback loop|magnetic feedback circuit]] to vibrate strings without touching them. Whereas guitars traditionally have [[Envelope (music)|fast attack and slow release]], meaning notes ring immediately and then fade out, the EBow can sustain notes indefinitely and gives greater control over attack and decay.<ref name="Gill-2023" /> The EBow can only play one string at a time, but can be moved across the strings to play [[arpeggio]]s.<ref name=":0" /> It can produce sounds similar to cello or violin.<ref name="Gill-2023" />
