Not a regular bow, a small one (say 4 inches). I would do this:....<<

Maybe you haven't been following the posts too closely. We don't want to move 
strings since the pitch can't be changed without a lot of other hardware. What 
we want is the synthesizer to freely generate the pitches and a resonant 
acoustic body to give it the character needed. Using a $9 transducer like LH 
pointed out should hopefully be all that's needed besides a mic to record the 
sound back into electronic form. If that fails, then that's where I stop 
because I will have answered my question as to whether it can be done or not.
