Good concept, requires rosin

The bow itself is well-made, but note that it doesn't come with rosin. You absolutely need to apply rosin to get a good sound, especially on acoustic guitars. Once I applied some, the performance improved drastically. Just wish it was mentioned more clearly in the description.

Fun addition to my gear

This isn't something you will use every day, but when you need that specific bowed guitar sound, nothing else compares at this price point. It's lightweight and easy to store in my gig bag. A fun tool for expanding your creative technique performance.

Perfect gift for creative musicians

Bought this for my daughter who loves mixing genres. She uses it to create ambient backgrounds for her folk songs. The build quality is solid, and it feels balanced in the hand. Highly recommend for anyone looking to break out of standard strumming patterns.

Unlocks a whole new sonic palette

I was skeptical about using a bow on my steel-string folk guitar, but the SOLO Picasso Bow changed my mind instantly. The hair grips the strings perfectly without being too aggressive, allowing for smooth, sustained notes that sound almost cello-like. It's a fantastic tool for experimental composition.

Surprisingly durable

I've been using this daily for three months in my home studio. The tension holds well, and the hair hasn't frayed. It produces a very unique, ethereal tone that adds great texture to recordings. The tuning pick is small but effective for quick adjustments.

Great for classical experimentation

As a classical guitarist, I wanted to explore extended techniques. This bow works wonderfully on nylon strings. The included tuning pick is a nice bonus, though I mostly use it for the bowing capability. Just be prepared to practice your angle; it takes a little getting used to compared to violin bows.

5 FAQ

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

A: Yes, the SOLO Picasso Bow can be used on electric guitars, particularly those with higher action or nylon strings, but it is primarily optimized for the resonance of folk and classical acoustic guitars.

Q: What is the purpose of the included tuning pick?

A: The tuning pick serves a dual purpose: it can be used as a standard pick for plucking strings and features a specialized shape to help grip and turn tuning pegs quickly during performance.

Q: Can I use this on a guitar with a glossy finish without damaging it?

A: Yes, the bow is designed to be safe for all standard guitar finishes. However, as with any accessory, we advise exercising care to avoid scratching the body while maneuvering the bow.

Q: Is rosin included in the package?

A: No, rosin is not included. We recommend using a standard violin or cello rosin cake to maximize friction and sound quality on the guitar strings.

Q: Is this suitable for a complete beginner to the guitar?

A: While a complete beginner can physically use the bow, we recommend having basic familiarity with holding the guitar and understanding string tension. Bowing technique is a specialized skill that complements standard playing.
