Don't you think it's normal to play the guitar with a pick?
It is said that people in ancient times played strings using the cores of animal bones and bird feathers.
It evolved from there and led to the modern pick.
So, what if "Bolt" existed a long time ago?
Humans may have played the guitar with something like a bolt.
Crazy Bolt was born from such a "what if" idea.
Crazy Bolt is waiting for your challenge.

▶ What is Crazy Bolt?
Crazy Bolt is a new playing tool for acoustic guitar.
The blade on the side of the main unit plucks the strings continuously to produce sound.
Why not surprise everyone around you with your unconventional performance?
▶ How to use crazy bolt
Just like when you pick up a pick for the first time in your life, you may be confused about how to use the Crazy Bolt at first.
However, don't worry, the mechanism is very simple. Detailed instructions on how to use are provided in an easy-to-understand video.
FAQ
Which strings can you play?
Crazy Bolt uses the adjacent string as a guide to play the string in front of you.
Therefore, except for the 1st string, strings from 2nd to 6th (up to 7th string in the case of a 7-string guitar) can be played.
Please tell me some tips to play well.
Do not apply the blade too deeply, just touch the string lightly.
Also, if the shaft shakes, the strings will hit the string unevenly, so try to move the crazy bolt while maintaining a constant angle as much as possible.
Can I change strings while playing?
Is possible. Just before changing strings, pull out the crazy bolt and apply it to the next string. The tip of the crazy bolt is moderately sharpened to make string changes as smooth as possible.
It may be confusing at first, just as it was difficult to change strings when you used a pick for the first time, but once you get used to it, you will be able to change strings smoothly.
The string transfer is also performed in the performance example video, so please take a look at it for reference.
Does it wear out like a pick?
Unlike a pick, it does not hit deeply and the load is distributed among the 6 blades.
Therefore, wear is less of a concern compared to picks.
Can it be used with a gut guitar?
It can be used as long as the distance between the strings (the distance between the surfaces, not the cores) is 8mm or more.
In the case of gut guitars, the string spacing is often wide, so it will be easier to produce sound if you insert the crazy bolt at a slight angle.
Can I play a guitar with a thin body?
There is no problem if the guitar is a little thin.
Specifically, as long as the distance from the strings to the body back is about 6cm, you'll be fine.
Can I play it without a sound hole?
Crazy Bolt is a tool that you insert into the sound hole of your guitar to play.
It cannot be used with instruments that do not have a sound hole under the strings.
Do I have to hit all the blades?
There are six blades, but there is no need to force them all to hit the strings.
It's okay if you don't swing too much and use about half the blade.
When you want to create a strong accent, it's a good idea to swing it wide and use a lot of blades.
The blade doesn't reach the string
Be careful not to press the strings that serve as guides. If you press it too hard, it will be difficult for the blade to reach the string.
Also, if the guitar has plain strings with wide string spacing, the distance between the strings will be wider, making it difficult for the strings to reach the blade.
In that case, insert the crazy bolt at a slight angle so it hits the string.
