Product Info
| Product Description: | The Studio Model Red from Pickaso is the first ever to be made with hair on both sides, in this case synthetic, for acoustic and bass guitars. It's a revolutionary way to create artistic sounds on your instruments and expand the boundaries of sound. This upgraded model features high-end assembly with high-quality materials. The anodized aluminum body and quality rubber-covered plastic handle design and functionality for the best experience and perfect sound quality. Important note: The Pickaso bow is not functional with coated strings (like Elixir Nanoweb) or nylon strings. Make sure your strings are regular, without any additional coating. Q&A 1. Q: Does the bow work on any type of string? A: The Pickaso bow works on most strings except coated strings (such as Elixir) and nylon strings as mentioned above. The bow won't produce any sound on these types of strings. The bow works best on regular uncoated strings of all types and brands. The manufacturer uses Ernie Ball Earthwood, 80/20 medium-light strings. 2. Q: Can the bow be used with other instruments? A: The Pickaso Guitar Bow was specifically designed and manufactured for use with acoustic guitars. However, it can also be used with any steel-stringed instrument with a sound hole or space where the bow can be inserted between and under the strings. It's important to note that the bow is not suitable for use with nylon strings or coated strings. 3. Q: Will the bow damage my strings? A: If used properly and following the instructions provided, this bow will not damage your guitar strings in any way. The bow hair is much softer than a guitar pick, so you can use it with confidence, knowing that your strings are safe. 4. Q: Does the bow contain horse hair? No, Pickaso have deliberately avoided using any animal products in this bow. Instead, they developed synthetic bow hair that is sturdier and more suitable for stringed instrument players. They specifically created this hair to meet guitarists needs, and to provide the best possible sound and playing experience. 5. Q: Can I replace the hair on the bow? Yes. The hair on the Pickaso Guitar Bow can be easily replaced using the hair replacement kit available on the manufacturer’s website. The kit has all the necessary tools and instructions to replace the hair in just 20 minutes.

My wife bought me one about a year ago. A few things to consider, on my acoustic I like to use coated strings. That coating makes them too slippery for the bow to get much volume. So I put on some traditional non-coated strings and the tone is pretty darn good. The bow is so short that you can't really get those long drawn out sounds like you would from a violin or a cello. I've watched some videos of people playing it and making it look easy and sound great, but I did not get past the initial "just playing around with it" phase. But someone with actual talent and a little bit of drive to learn this will be happy with it.
Lol, it's a bow for your guitar. Makes it sound similar to a cello or a violin. But you pull the bow vertically across the strings down into the sound hole of the acoustic guitar instead of horizontally like you would on a violin.

And then a violin.
And an electric violin.
An electric viola next, maybe?
I'm pretty sure I'll also have a cello before long.
Used marketplaces are often loaded up with classical stringed instruments for sale.
Mendini and Cecilio on Amazon are commonly among the lowest priced, and the ones I got were entirely playable. Tone wasn't the best, but similar to student music program instruments.
You can also check with the local high school or university music director for what local music stores they're affiliated with, and ask what student brands and step-up brands they recommend. You do not have to buy an $800 starter instrument at Sweetwater to get started, but you can.
Most classical string instruments these days are pretty good in general.
I do know that Eastman is a good brand that is available nationally. They make good beginner, student, step-up and professional instruments.
Suzuki are excellent student grade products.
Barcus Berry is affiliated with Washburn Guitars somehow and are good.
Stentor is good at the student grade, don't know about higher.
Yamaha makes great student instruments and step-up instruments.
Others, I just don't know enough to say much. There are a lot of "European-sounding" brands that could be just a guy with a sticker printer...
The very best ones are pretty much only known in professional circles, and that's well beyond me. It doesn't take long to learn what to look for, but might take years to truly appreciate the subtle differences.
Used? I got one violin for $20 off Facebook, and another much nicer one for $90. I got a really nice semi-pro grade used viola for only $150. Pawn shops usually give little for them, then think they're worth more than they actually are, but occasionally you might find something underpriced that you recognize.
Feel free to buy uber-cheap to play with and learn about them. You'll figure out what you want next really quickly, and if you buy a cheap one, you can resell them with very little loss, Or you can do like I do and give them away to younger people who want to learn. It's a really nice feeling to give away a musical instrument. I usually do that through the local high school music director. (We have a fantastic strings program in our local school district.)
I'm not an expert, but I have fun with them.
