  • Picato – brytyjska firma produkująca struny przede wszystkim do różnego rodzaju gitar: klasycznych, akustycznych, elektrycznych, basowych, a także do innych instrumentów strunowych, takich jak: ukulele, mandolina, banjo. W przeciwieństwie do większości innych europejskich firm, które swoją produkcje przeniosły do krajów azjatyckich, Picato produkuje struny nieprzerwanie od 1960 roku w Wielkiej Brytanii. Kiedy Tony Iommi (gitarzysta Black Sabbath stracił w wypadku opuszki palców i nie mógł używać typowych strun do gitary elektrycznej, firma Picato specjalnie dla niego wprowadziła na rynek struny o bardzo małej średnicy (.008 - .032)- wyjątkowo miękkie. Picato używali m.in.: Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover oraz Eric Clapton.Obecnie, do grona oficjalnych użytkowników należą: * Paul Weller * Steve Cradock & Ocean Colour Scene * Bob Daisley * Prince Sampson (Joss Stone, Des’ree) * Marek Mrzyczek (Koniec Świata) * Roger Nilsson (Quill) * Mike Dignam * Simple Minds * The Vamps (pl)
