Titanium is the perfect choice for guitarists looking for:
- Indestructible durability – a plectrum “for life”,
- Expressive, metallic sound with controlled sharpness,
- Lightness and precision in techniques requiring a fast attack (metal, progressive rock).
**For whom?**
- Lovers of alternative sounds, experimenting with metal materials,
- Stage guitarists who need a tool resistant to extreme conditions,
- Perfectionists who value the combination of design and functionality.
** 1.Basic properties of Grade 2 titanium**:
- **Material:** Titanium Grade 2 is pure commercial titanium (99% Ti), considered one of the most ductile and versatile titanium alloys.
- **Mechanical strength:** High tensile strength (~345 MPa) at low weight (density 4.5 g/cm³), making it lighter than steel or brass.
- **Corrosion resistance:** Excellent - does not rust, even when exposed to sweat or moisture.
- **Elasticity:** Moderate stiffness with good resistance to deformation - does not break, but may bend slightly under pressure.
**2. Effects on sound:**
- **Tone:** Titanium Grade 2 gives the sound a bright, metallic character with a distinct high-frequency boost, but softer than steel or brass.
- **Attack:** Precise and fast, with a distinct "puncture"** of the strings, ideal for metal riffs or fast solos.
- **Tone:** Despite its metallic nature, the plasticity of Grade 2 makes the sound less aggressive than harder titanium alloys (e.g. Grade 5).
**3. Durability:**
- **Indestructibility:** Titanium Grade 2 is resistant to abrasion and cracking – the plectrum will survive years of intense play while maintaining its sharp edges.
- **String Protection:** Titanium's smooth surface minimizes string wear, unlike sharper materials like steel.
**4. Playability (playing comfort):**
- **Stiffness:** The plectrum is stiff, but not excessively hard - it allows for control over the dynamics, without the feeling of "wooden" inflexibility.
- **Slipperiness:** A smooth surface often requires an additional textured structure (e.g. embossing) for a better grip.
- **Ergonomics:** The lightness of titanium reduces hand fatigue, even during long sessions.
**5. Comparison with other materials:**
- **Vs. steel/brass:** Titanium Grade 2 is lighter and less aggressive on the strings, with a warmer tone.
- **Vs. plastic (Delrin, nylon): Provides more attack and durability, but loses in terms of warmth and "organic" sound.
- **Vs. higher grades of titanium (e.g. Grade 5):** Grade 2 is more malleable, which translates to a less harsh sound and more comfort.
If you haven't found in my offer the plectrum you are looking for and you need a guitar pick of an unusual shape, size and thickness, don't hesitate to ask. I am open to custom orders :)
Thank you for stepping by.
