Item Details - Cow Horn Guitar Plectrum (Tortoiseshell Substitute)

• Guitar plectrum made from genuine cow's horn
• Cow horn is a very similar material to your fingernails and therefore is hard wearing and gives a nice warm sound
• It's also probably the closest you will get to real tortoiseshell.
• As with many natural materials, the colours (and even the curvature to a degree) will vary, each one being unique.
• Comes in one gauge - thick. * PLEASE NOTE YOU ARE PURCHASING A SINGLE PLECTRUM*

Great piece of kit, these sound you get from these is quite different, and in my opinion, considerably better, than plastic picks - this is why tortoiseshell was the preferred material until the trading of it was made illegal, and also, why now, many plectrum manufacturers try to make tortoiseshell-like plastics.

I don't use anything else with my acoustic, the mellow sound and the solid, confident feel are perfect. Maybe not a huge difference for the beginner but if you are at the stage where sound and feel are important, I would urge you to try one of these.

Just to be clear, you are buying one, single plectrum.
