Abstract
A transmission line based bowed string model is built by analogizing a vibrating string to an electrical transmission line and implementing the calculation for the frictional bow-string force given by a digital bow into a circuit. The performance of the proposed model is demonstrated by showing that the velocity of the string at the bowing point from the proposed model is consistent with that from the finite difference form of the wave equation for a bowed string by the digital bow.
