The K-Bow is a hand-crafted composite sensor bow. Included with the K-Bow is a comprehensive suite of software tools that provides a completely integrated creative solution for the modern string player.

Reliable, practical stage-worthy sensor bows for the string family have not been available to experimenters, composers and performers. Now a complete series of bows for stringed instruments are presented. The bows provide hair tension, grip pressure, X-Y-Z acceleration, relative X-Y position wrt to the bridge and the tilt or twist of the violin bow. A Max based application using custom RFCOMM objects provides processed gesture outputs as well as a 2 axis trainable gesture extractor.
