About The Material These Picks Are Made From:
Celluloid was invented in 1856 and first patented in 1869. It was used as an ivory substitute and later the main use was in the movie, photography, and film industries, which used only celluloid film until the 1950s.
Celluloid is made from cellulose, one of the most abundant raw materials in the world, and was first used for guitar picks as early as 1902. This was to provide a reasonably priced alternative to traditional and expensive tortoise shell plectrums which had been in use virtually as long as string instruments have existed. In addition, celluloid closely mimics the tonal qualities of a genuine tortoise shell pick, but with greater durability.
Today celluloid also remains in use as a finish coating for musical instruments, especially accordions and guitars. Celluloid is very robust and easy to mold in difficult forms, and has great acoustic performance as a cover for wooden frames since it does not block wood's natural pores.
