Horn picks are known to closely mimic the tonal qualities of the tortoise shell picks of the past, which were traditionally one of the most popular pick materials. This is because they are made of keratin, which is the same material a tortoise shell is composed of. Horn plectrums offer a very warm and mellow tone. These picks are in a polished finish and have a very attractive aesthetic and natural beauty. Because these are a natural handmade product each one is unique and will vary in appearance, as well as slightly in size and thickness. These plectrums are a thick heavy gauge and measure approximately 1.5mm where you grip the pick, and are smoothed and slightly rounded off on the edges.

Horn is one of the most popular and versatile natural materials available for making guitar picks. Prior to the 20th century tortoise shell was perhaps the most sought after material used for crafting guitar picks. A combination of excellent tone, flexibility compared to many other natural materials, and other more subtle qualities made it highly desirable. Tortoise shell was so perfectly suited to the task of being used as a pick that to this day most modern synthetic materials used for guitar picks are still trying to replicate the qualities of natural tortoise shell. Fortunately, nature had already created a solution. Because horn is made of keratin, the same material as tortoise shell, the tonal qualities are very similar. This makes horn an excellent natural substitute to tortoise shell for making guitar picks. Our picks are crafted out of water buffalo horn and are available in solid black horn, solid white horn, or picks that feature both black and white coloration in a single pick.
