Plectrum guide (English)

---

Explore the Variety with Precision Craftsmanship:

Explore the variety of plectrum shapes available exclusively on my website. The 'Drop' shape adheres to traditional dimensions, generally measuring 8-10mm at its thickest point, unless otherwise noted. My ANVIL plectrums typically come in at around 10mm in thickness.

Finish options:

A Brushed finish means that the flat faces of the pick, the surfaces in contact with the thumb and index finger, are micro-brushed. This creates a very fine texture that slightly increases friction and improves grip, especially during long playing sessions.
If the pick is not brushed, those same flat faces are fully polished to a high-gloss finish. The surface is perfectly smooth and reflective. The difference between brushed and polished is purely tactile and functional, related only to grip and surface feel. It has no impact on the shape, thickness, or geometry of the pick.

Bevel options:

When a pick is described as having bevels, the entire perimeter of the pick is chamfered. The edges are shaped all around, creating a smooth and progressive transition from the flat faces to the edge. This results in a more fluid feel and a softer contact with the string.

No bevels means there is no chamfer at all. The flat faces end abruptly with a sharp, square edge, without any softened transition. The surface stops and drops directly toward the edge, creating a more angular profile. This produces what can be described as an anvil-like shape: a solid, squared mass that then descends directly toward the point.

Pricing and Quality:

Pricing is based on material cost, time, and artisanal effort. Dense, non-porous materials deliver a distinct attack against the strings. While a brushed finish is available on the top and bottom surfaces for added grip, I take meticulous care in crafting each plectrum to ensure that all bevels are polished to a high gloss. I do not offer plectrums with scratch marks or rough edges on the bevels, as I stand firmly behind my work ethics and craftsmanship.

Inventory and Customization:

My inventory is comprehensively listed online, and I currently don't offer custom-made options.

Impact on Your Style:

Your choice of plectrum deeply influences your playing style and personal comfort. Feel free to experiment; my plectrums are versatile and transcend musical genres.

Unlock Strength and Comfort:

My specialized thicker plectrums are engineered to alleviate hand strain, offering benefits for players dealing with osteoarthritis, muscular pain, or tendinitis. These picks help to minimize effort and discomfort during extended playing sessions, making them an excellent choice for musicians who seek performance gains.

Adapt and Explore:

Seasoned players may require minor technique adjustments to fully capitalize on the enhanced strength provided by these picks.

Material Choices:

Should you encounter any 'clicking' sounds using non-porous materials like cast acrylic, alternative materials such as UHMWPE, HUFTECH, HUFTRON, or HUFLON are available. They offer smoother interactions with the strings, effectively eliminating the clicking effect.
