Black Buffalo Horn Guitar Or Bass Pick - 1.5 mm Ultra Heavy Gauge - 347 Large Teardrop Shape - Polished Finish Handmade Specialty Exotic Plectrum - 3 Pack

These natural Black Buffalo Horn plectrums are a great addition to your exotic guitar pick collection. Each pick is handcrafted and buffed to a polished finish. These exotic plectrums can be used for any stringed instrument, and sound great for acoustic or electric guitar players. This pick features the standard 347 Large Teardrop pick shape, and is completely flat on both sides, which makes it the most familiar feeling of all exotic pick designs since it is essentially the same as a standard guitar pick. These picks feel very smooth and comfortable in the hand and are an excellent first exotic pick to try out. This listing is for a 3 pack of picks.

The 347 Large Teardrop shape has been around for decades and is one of the most popular pick shapes. The 347 is only slightly smaller than a standard 351 pick, but offers a different tip profile and body shape that some people prefer.

Horn picks are known to closely mimic the tonal qualities of the tortoise shell picks of the past, which were traditionally one of the most popular pick materials. This is because they are made of keratin, which is the same material a tortoise shell is composed of. Horn plectrums offer a very warm and mellow tone.

These picks have a very attractive aesthetic and come in a polished finish which showcases the material used and its organic beauty. Because these are a natural handmade product each one is unique and will vary in appearance, as well as slightly in size and thickness. These plectrums are a thick heavy gauge and measure approximately 1.5mm where you grip the pick, and are smoothed and slightly rounded off on the edges.

About The Material These Picks Are Made From:

Plectrums made from animal horn have been used traditionally throughout the world since the dawn of stringed instruments millennia ago. Horn is one of the most popular and versatile natural materials available for making guitar picks.

Prior to the 20th century tortoise shell was perhaps the most sought after material used for crafting guitar picks. A combination of excellent tone, flexibility compared to many other natural materials, and other more subtle qualities made it highly desirable. Tortoise shell was so perfectly suited to the task of being used as a pick that to this day most modern synthetic materials used for guitar picks are still trying to replicate the qualities of natural tortoise shell.

Fortunately, nature had already created a solution. Because horn is made of keratin, the same material as tortoise shell, the tonal qualities are very similar. This makes horn an excellent natural substitute to tortoise shell for making guitar picks. Our picks are crafted out of water buffalo horn and are available in solid black horn, solid white horn, or picks that feature both black and white coloration in a single pick.
