context_page_description: EBow is a brand name of Heet Sound Products, of Los Angeles, California, United States for the original type of monophonic handheld electromagnetic string driver, invented by Greg Heet in 1969, first introduced in 1976, and patented in 1978.
  The EBow is a battery-powered electronic device for playing a string instrument, most often the electric guitar. The EBow uses a pickup in an inductive string driver feedback circuit, including a sensor coil, driver coil, and amplifier, to induce forced string vibrations. The EBow is monophonic, and drives one string at a time, producing a sound reminiscent of using a bow on the strings.
  The name EBow stands for "Electronic Bow" or Energy Bow.
