Beautiful handmade guitar pick consists of three layers. Two external kirinite (toxic green) and one internal uhmwpe (black or green). Plectrum provides very good grip thanks to the special stickers with my logo. A very comfortable, durable and good sounding gift for a guitarist.
This hybrid combines the visual advantages of kirinite with the functionality of UHMWPE, offering:
- aesthetic design with durability,
- expressive attack with a warm, balanced sound,
- versatile in use (from metal riffs to acoustic arpeggios).
Perfect for guitarists looking for a combination of style, comfort and unique sound characteristics.
Shapes: Teardrop
Dimensions: Length: 37mm, Width: 27mm,
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.
**Material properties**:
- Kirinite: Acrylic resin with high hardness, durability and aesthetic appearance (patterns, colors). Gives the plectrum a bright, precise attack and a luminous sound color.
- UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene): Material with exceptional abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction and good vibration absorption. Adds elasticity and dampens part of the high frequencies.
**Effects on sound**:
- Kirinite (outer layers): Provides a clear attack and bright tonality typical of hard materials.
- UHMWPE (core): Softens the harshness of the highs, enriching the midrange and bass, leading to a more balanced, warm sound.
**Durability and comfort**:
- Wear resistance: UHMWPE layer protects against cracking and abrasion, extending the life of the plectrum. Kirinite, already durable, gains the added protection of mechanical integrity.
- Ergonomics: Kirinite's smooth surface provides a comfortable grip, while UHMWPE's flexibility reduces vibration, minimizing hand fatigue during long playing sessions.
**Playability**:
- Stiffness vs. Flexibility: Kirinite's dominant stiffness maintains precision in solos, while UHMWPE adds minimal flex, facilitating fast strumming and smooth transitions between strings.
- Glideability: UHMWPE's low friction can support fluid movements, especially in techniques that require quick shifts (e.g. sweeping).
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.
