Hey Bob,
You might try Sam Ash or Musician's Friend or one of the other on line stores. I've seen them available.

You can get the same effect by blowing on the string after you pick it.

Don't give up. You've got to blow REALLY hard.

I bought mine at Sam Ash. Around 60$ as I recall. If at all possible, try one before you buy one. It does sustain the note, but it sounds like a fuzz tone, or distorting the note. It's not a snap to use either. It takes a little patience to find the right distance above the string and that can vary with string gauge and pick attack and volume.

If your willing to spend the time to make it work, it could be a usefull gimmick. If not, don't waste your money as I did.
