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.
