Picato Musicians Strings has been owned by Strings And Things Limited since the early 1980s when it acquired the business of General Music Strings Limited, the original founders. General Music Strings Limited was established in the 1940s by the Stein family and by the 1970s were prolific British producers of strings for acoustic, classical, electric and bass guitars; as well as banjo, mandolin, ukulele and violin. It was during this period that Tony Iommi lost the tips of two of his fingers in an accident and the Picato company designed an extra low gauge string set (.008" - .032") especially for him. At that time Picato strings were used by many famous rock guitarists and bassists such as Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Tony McPhee and Eric Clapton to name just four.

  • 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: (pl)
