Material: nylon
Share
Nylon was the second material used to make plectrums after celluloid, and its excellent wear resistance combined with remarkable elasticity has made it one of the most widely used materials.
It is a hygroscopic material, meaning it absorbs moisture, which alters its characteristics.
Its smoothness makes it suitable for plectrums designed for any musical genre, keeping in mind that it tends to "absorb" high frequencies, resulting in a slightly warmer sound.
There are many types of nylon, and Plick the Pick uses different varieties, distinguished by varying hardness and different tonal qualities on the string.
