Pickaso Guitar Bow
[edit]The Pickaso Guitar Bow is a specialized micro bow designed for acoustic guitars, allowing players to produce sounds similar to those of bowed instruments like the violin and cello. It is the first bow designed with dual-hair technology, featuring a short, thin aluminum body, an integrated pick, synthetic hair fibers, and an adjustable hair tension mechanism.[1] The bow was invented by Jonathan Shenhav, and it is manufactured by Pickaso Innovations.
The product’s name combines the artist Picasso’s name with the term "pick," reflecting the adaptation of bowing techniques for the guitar.
History
[edit]The Pickaso Guitar Bow was invented in 2016 by Jonathan Shenhav, inspired by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page’s use of a violin bow during his performance of “Dazed and Confused.” Shenhav aimed to develop a bow specifically for acoustic guitars, enabling players to produce bowed string sounds. Following a three-year development period, the Pickaso Guitar Bow became commercially available in the summer of 2019 and has remained in production.
The initial model, known as the Classical, was compact and designed to allow precise control over individual strings. In 2022, the company introduced the Studio model, which featured a longer design intended to enhance lower tones and provide longer sustain. In 2024, both the Classical and Studio models were updated to Plus versions, incorporating an improved hair tension mechanism and an updated design for greater sound flexibility and ease of use.
Function
[edit]The Pickaso Guitar Bow requires the application of rosin to produce sound. The rosin creates friction with the guitar strings, enabling the bow to vibrate the strings and generate sounds reminiscent of a violin or cello.
The bow is positioned between the guitar strings inside the sound hole, allowing the player to isolate one or two strings at a time. This technique differs from traditional guitar bowing with a violin bow, where the player typically bows all six strings or only the E strings independently. With the Pickaso Guitar Bow, players have the option to bow individual strings or pairs of strings, or to use the built-in pick to create different musical effects
