Black And White Buffalo Horn Guitar Or Bass Pick - 1.5 mm Ultra Heavy Gauge - Jazz Shape - Polished Finish Handmade Specialty Exotic Plectrum

These natural Black And White Buffalo Horn plectrums are a great addition to your exotic guitar pick collection. Each pick is handcrafted and buffed to a polished finish. Buffalo horn naturally appears in black and white, with some portions being solid black or white, and some sections mixed coloration. These black and white picks are hand selected for ones that have both colors present in every pick, which can make for an interesting appearance. These exotic plectrums can be used for any stringed instrument, and sound great for acoustic or electric guitar players. This pick features the standard regular sized Jazz 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.

The Jazz pick shape has been around for decades and is one of the most widely used guitar pick shapes after the standard 351. The regular Jazz pick is notably smaller than a 351 in size, and is popular with guitarists who like the extra precision offered by its pointier tip design.

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.
