Take a bow

Just recieved my Picaso bow and immediately put it to the test. It's remarkable. It gave me the ability to do staccato melody lines with a very authentic violin sound. Contrary to some reviews I've read, I was able to get long bow notes by adjusting my finger placement and tension on the bow. I then ran the guitar signal through a strings effects processor and had an entire orchestral strings section at my finger tips. Very cool. I had just finished a three and a half year recording studio marathon, recording 14 albums worth of backlogged song compositions and arrived at "now what?". This Pickaso bow answered that question. I feel like a door just opened to endless possibilities. THANK YOU Jonathan

The most creative tool since years

The Pickaso Bow is a remarkable piece of art and you are going to hear your guitar like never before. On the high strings it sounds like a violin, on the lows like a cello …it’s amazing!
First I had the classical bow but in order to play longer notes I exchanged it to the classic bow which works perfect with me.
The process of refund was a flawless experience and no problem at all! The delivery was pretty fast.
I could imagine that this bow might have the same impact as let’s say the capodaster to guitar. You have to learn a bit like as if it was a new instrument (especially the timing of the strokes), though you can start playing right away and it will sound great.
Finally, it simply makes a lot of fun to play and once started I can’t stop playing for hours!

3rd gift purchase

While I can't say much to it personally, it is the 3rd time I've purchased one as a gift. Recipients were all pretty excited by its potential. The only complaint I've heard was they were having difficulty adjusting to the motion needed to play (gliding instead of strumming). But that's on them, they just need to practice, and not a fault of the product itself.

Q&A

Common Questions

How does it work?


The Pickaso Guitar Bow is very straightforward and easy to use. Just follow these simple steps:

  1. Apply Rosin: Coat both sides of your bow with rosin. Similar to violin bows, rosin is necessary to create sound through friction. Unlike traditional violin rosin, our unique formula leaves minimal dust residue on the strings and doesn’t spread everywhere.
  2. Position the Bow: Insert the bow inside the guitar's sound hole, above or between two strings. You can play one or two strings at a time and easily switch between picking and bowing.
  3. Clean Your Strings: Use the provided cleaning cloth to wipe down your strings. This takes about half a minute and will leave your strings clean and bright.
  4. Play Responsibly: It’s highly addictive! 😉 Remember to take breaks, eat, and stay hydrated—don’t spend too many hours playing non-stop! (Just kidding 😉)

For more details, check out our online user guide.

Can the bow be used with other instruments?

A:The Pickaso Guitar Bow is designed specifically for acoustic guitars but can also be used with steel-stringed instruments with a sound hole or space for bow insertion.

Does the bow work on any type of string?

The Pickaso bow is compatible with all types and brands of regular uncoated strings, but it cannot be used with coated ones, such as Elixir, or nylon strings. We personally prefer to use Ernie Ball 80/20 Medium-Light strings. For the best results, we recommend choosing strings in the light to medium gauge range.
