Meet the Pickaso Rotary Bow
A revolutionary, patent pending rotary bow that unlocks endless sustained bowed textures on guitar and other stringed instruments through a bold, innovative design, expanding the boundaries of your instrument and opening the door to entirely new musical landscapes.
One Device. Two Effects
The Pickaso Rotary Bow uses continuous wheel motion to create smooth bowed effects through a powerful motor, an elastic wheel, and specially designed outer layers. This unique system produces two main effects, Bow and Tremobow.
The Bow Effect
The Bow effect was inspired by the hurdy gurdy, combined with the feel and function of a traditional bow. A rigid wooden wheel on its own would sound rough and scratchy on strings, especially outside the fixed structure of a hurdy gurdy.
To solve this, we developed an elastic wheel that provides a responsive, cushioned platform, allowing the strings to vibrate naturally without unwanted harshness. Around it, we added a specially engineered outer layer with a thinner contact surface. When paired with rosin, it creates a smooth, beautiful bowed sound with very little side noise.
The Tremobow Effect
The Tremobow effect came later, when we explored a different idea. Instead of relying on the classic stick and slip bowing phenomenon, we asked ourselves, what if the strings were gently struck with speed and precision, like tremolo picking, while still maintaining string vibration?
That idea led to many rounds of testing. We refined the cover material, hardness, pick count, shape, size, and positioning until we achieved the right balance. The result is our Butterfly Cover, a unique design that creates a distinctive hybrid effect, combining the character of tremolo picking with the energy of bowed strings.
Endless creative possibilities.
What makes Pickaso truly special is its modular platform. Swap one wheel cover for another and unlock new sounds and playing experiences at a fraction of the cost.
The current version is just the beginning. We are already exploring new ideas for the future, including multiple connected wheels and new cover designs.
Together with our creative community, your ideas and ours will keep shaping a versatile instrument that inspires both the imagination and the ear.
Buckle up. Your instrument is about to enter a new dimension.

Common questions
Common questions
Yes and no.
The Tremobow cover works on all types of strings, including steel, coated, nylon, and others.
The bow covers work only on uncoated steel strings. Elixir and similar coated strings will not produce sound with them.
On nylon or similar strings, the bow covers may still work, but the sound quality will not be as good as it is on steel strings.
Yes. Although designed for acoustic guitar, both the butterfly cover and the bow covers are compatible with virtually any stringed or bowed instrument, including electric guitar (watch demo video), banjo, ukulele, sitar, violin, cello, and more.
For the Tremobow cover, rosin is not required.
For the bow covers, rosin is necessary. Applying rosin improves grip and allows them to produce sound properly.
No. The Pickaso Rotary Bow is powered directly via the included USB cable and a compatible USB wall adapter.
No.ย
Both the bow covers and the tremobow pick cover are much softer than a regular guitar pick and will not damage your strings. Any rosin residue is easy to clean using the cloth provided.
The softer wheel isnโt essential, but we find it more expressive, especially when pressing deeper into the strings. Itโs also handy to have an extra wheel, as we include three covers.
