These natural Black Buffalo Horn plectrums are a great addition to your exotic guitar pick collection. Each pick is handcrafted and buffed to a smooth finish. These exotic plectrums can be used for any stringed instrument, and sound great for acoustic or electric guitar players.

The 346 Rounded Triangle shape has been around for decades and is perhaps the 2nd most widely used guitar pick shape after the standard 351. The 346 is popular with guitar players, however it is especially favored by many bass players because of its larger size. This pick features a standard 346 pick size and 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 have a very attractive aesthetic and come in a natural finish which showcases the material used and its organic beauty. Because these are a 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.
