Abstract
A highly flexible pick is used for playing stringed instruments. The pick will essentially be made of low-density polyethylene plastic to yield a pick that may reduce string breakage, be secure in a player's fingers, even during fast strumming, and may provide excellent tone from the stringed instrument. Because the pick is highly flexible, the pick may bend it is sounds the string, without the pick moving in the player's grip.
Claims9
A pick for playing a stringed instrument, comprising:
- a shaped piece of low density polyethylene adapted to be held in a player's grip between a player's thumb and finger;
- with
- a tip extending beyond the player's grip to strum over strings of the stringed instrument.
A method for playing a stringed instrument, comprising:
- holding a pick between a player's thumb and finger, with a tip of the pick extending there beyond, wherein the pick is made of low density polyethylene;
- and
- strumming the pick across a string of the stringed instrument, thereby sounding the string.
The method of claim 7, further comprising flexing the pick to a flexed position while the pick is strumming the string, wherein the flexed position does not disturb the pick's orientation being held between the player's thumb and finger.
