There is a piece in the middle of the Whitesnake song "Still of the Night" where there is an instumental solo. This is the *recorded* version - in live footage it sounds different, much more like pure synthesizer. In looking around the web, I have found ALL of the following explanations of what this instrument is.
A) it is a guitar being played with a violin bow (in the video they do this, but I'm guessing it's just for show)B) it is a celloD) it is an electric celloE) it is some other stringed instrumentD) it is synthesized celloE) it is some other synthesized stringF) it is a generic synthesized sound, not replicating ANY particular real life instrument
If SOMEONE, anyone could tell me what the actual instrument is on the album recording, I would be so grateful! Thanks!

it's reportedly an errant studio recording of David Coverdale having an aneurysm, captured by producer Keith Olsen.

In the video for "Still of the Night", part of the instrumental string interlude is visualized using a bow on an electric guitar but the strings were recorded by Don Airey using either a synthesizer or a sampler.
Two years late.

haha, that sounds so little like a bowed guitar that the video is kind of funny.

Sounds like they’ve re recorded “here I go” maybe…the version I heard in public sounded limp
