Perfect for film scoring

As a composer, I needed unique textures for my latest project. This bow delivers eerie, sustained notes that a standard pick just cannot achieve. The double-sided design allows for quick switching during recording sessions.

Unlocks a whole new sound world

I was skeptical at first, but this bow genuinely transforms my acoustic guitar into something that sounds like a cello or violin. The transition between plucking with the built-in pick and bowing is seamless. Highly recommended for experimental musicians.

Solid construction

Very lightweight and easy to hold for extended periods. The synthetic hair seems durable and hasn't loosened after a month of daily use. My only wish is that it came with a dedicated carrying case.

Great concept, takes practice

The build quality is excellent and the carbon fiber feels durable. It does take some time to learn the right pressure and angle to get a clean tone without scratching, but once you get it, the results are magical.

Inspiring creativity

This tool has completely changed how I approach songwriting. The ability to create long, singing sustain on a guitar opens up so many melodic possibilities. The included pick is a nice touch for immediate switching.

Good but requires specific strings

Works well on nylon strings, but I found it a bit difficult to get a smooth sound on heavy gauge steel strings. You might need to adjust your string choice for the best experience. Still a fun gadget to have.

5 FAQ

Q: Do I need to apply rosin to the bow before using it?

A: No, this bow comes pre-treated with a specialized compound that does not require additional rosin application, making it ready to play right out of the box.

Q: What type of guitar pick is built into the handle?

A: The built-in pick is a standard medium gauge shape, molded directly into the handle for easy access without needing to swap tools while playing.

Q: Is there a learning curve for beginners who have never bowed an instrument?

A: There is a slight learning curve regarding pressure and speed. We recommend starting with slow, steady strokes near the bridge to find the 'sweet spot' for clear tones.

Q: Can I replace the synthetic hair if it wears out?

A: The synthetic hair is integrated into the carbon fiber frame and is not user-replaceable. However, the materials are chosen for high durability and long-term use.

Q: Does this work on electric guitars as well as acoustic?

A: Yes, the SOLO Picasso Bow is designed to work effectively on both acoustic and electric guitars, provided you use an amplifier with reverb or delay for the best bowed tone on electrics.
