Sweet. Love em. Just one small issue:

StringPorts will be available for purchase in January from this website and will cost $499 each.

Ouch....

Starting in January K-Bows will be available from our new online store and will cost $3995-$4995.

OUCH!

I was with you on the Ouches, but a violinist who I showed it to tells me that a concert grade violin bow costs £500 upwards anyway. If you are a serious user, apparently the custom made ones go to the K-Bow price, without any electronics.

The website videos of János Négyesy, (can somebody from Hungary tell us how to pronounce his name please), are quite cool, he's using the Max Matthews designed violin too. They are on This Page. For those who aren't into the history of electronic music, Max is like the Grandfather of computer music. Still active and teaching today. The Max language was named after him.

Hahaha oh yeh totally. They're quality made these ones too (check out the description - nice!)

That was "ouch" as in, "I can't afford that", rather than "that's a rip-off" ;)

BTW, 'Janos' sounds kinda like 'jshah-noosch', not 100% on the last name (I used to know a hungarian Janos myself)
