Handcrafted kirinite guitar plectrum in shape of teardrop, unique guitar pick made by hand by Luka - True Blood Teardrop

Handmade True Blood Acrylic Kirinite Plectrum

Shape: Teardrop
Dimensions: Length: 35mm, Width: 25mm

Handcrafted (sawn, carved, shaped and polished) using only workshop power tools.

The plectrum is non-standard thickness for a reason. Namely, a large thickness minimizes movement, increases precision, strength and speed. Therefore playing the guitar requires less effort, which is a relief for the player. As a result, the player will have fewer muscle cramps and tensions, and more comfortable playing.

Kirinite is a plectrum for aesthetes and precisionists who value:
- **Visual uniqueness** – each pattern is unique,
- **Bright, detailed sound** – ideal for solo techniques and fast passages,
- **Durability** – good resistance to wear and tear

**1. Basic Material Properties:**

- **Composition:** Kirinite is an acrylic thermosetting resin, known for its unique patterns and colors, often imitating natural materials (e.g. stone, bone).
- **Hardness:** High (approx. 90-95 on the Shore D scale), which places it between hard Delrin and stiff PEEK.
- **Density:** Moderate - the plectrums are lightweight but do not lose stability.
- **Finish:** Characteristic gloss and smooth surface, often with multi-layered patterns.

**2. Effects on Sound:**

- **Attack:** Bright and precise, with clearly outlined transients - ideal for techniques requiring articulation (e.g. fingerstyle, metal riffs).
- **Timbre:** Luminous, slightly "glassy" in the highs, with a neutral midrange and slightly muffled bass.
- **Sustain:** Shorter than in the case of metal materials, but sufficient to maintain clarity.

**3. Durability:**

- **Wear resistance:** High – Kirinite is resistant to scratches and deformation, even with intensive play.
- **String protection:** Smooth surface minimizes string wear, unlike sharper materials (e.g. steel).

**4. Playability (Playing Comfort):**
- **Stiffness:** Lack of flexibility – the plectrum is stiff, which requires a precise grip, but guarantees control over the dynamics.


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 :)
