High quality handmade guitar pick made of torlon in shape of attack jazz best gift for musician by Luka Plectrums - Torlon Mini Jazz

Long-lasting handmade guitar pick made of torlon (one of the most durable plastics on the market) with drilled holes and glow-in-the-dark material in the central part. Matte finish. Very comfortable and good sounding tool for the guitarist.

Shape: Attack Jazz
Length: 25mm, Width: 22mm

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

Torlon is a material for perfectionists who are looking for:
- Indestructible durability - a plectrum "for life",
- Warm, balanced sound with an emphasis on midrange and bass,
- Precise control in technically demanding genres (progressive metal, fusion, jazz).

Torlon is an icon among premium materials - not for everyone, but in the hands of the right guitarist it becomes an irreplaceable tool.

1. **Basic properties of Torlon:**
- **Material:** Torlon is an ultra-durable thermoplastic from the polyamide-imide (PAI) group, considered one of the most durable engineering plastics.
- **Thermal resistance:** Withstands temperatures above **270°C**, which has no direct significance in the game, but indicates structural stability.
- **Mechanical strength:** The highest among thermoplastics - resistant to abrasion, cracking, impacts and creep (deformation under long-term load).
- **Stiffness: High, but with moderate vibration absorption - reduces the "metallic" aftertaste of sound typical of other hard materials.
- **Density:** Low (approx. 1.4 g/cm³), which makes the plectrum lightweight despite its thicker size.

2. **Impact on sound:**
- **Timbre:** Torlon gives the sound a warm, organic tone with an emphasized midrange and deep bass, while toning down excessive high-frequency sharpness.
- **Attack:** Precise, but less "glassy" than PEEK or kirinite - more muffled, but clear.
- **Dynamic response:** Thanks to vibration absorption, the sound is less analytical and more "musical", which works well in genres that require expression (e.g. blues, jazz).

3. **Durability:**
- **Indestructibility:** Torlon is virtually indestructible – plectrums made of this material can last for years, even during intensive play.
- **Resistance to deformation: Does not deform under pressure, moisture or time (no creep).
- **String protection:** Thanks to its smooth surface and low friction, it minimizes string wear, which is important for players who value consistency of sound.

4. **Playability**
- **Stiffness** Torlon is very stiff, which requires a precise grip, but provides control over dynamics - ideal for fast techniques (shredding, tapping).
- **Sliding:** The smooth surface facilitates smooth sliding over the strings, especially in techniques such as sweep picking or arpeggios.
- **Ergonomics:** Despite the stiffness, moderate vibration absorption reduces vibrations transferred to the hand, increasing comfort during long sessions.
