Plectrum for stringed musical instruments

A plectrum for a stringed musical instrument comprising a single piece of resilient molded plastic material, said piece being generally triangular in shape and having rounded corners adapted to be used selectively for engaging the strings of the instrument while a portion of the piece other than the corner being used is held by hand, a first hole of predetermined size formed in said piece adjacent a first one of said corners thereby to give the portion of the piece adjacent said first corner a preselected degree of flexibility correlated with the size of said hole, and a second hole of predetermined size smaller than the size of said first hole and formed in said piece adjacent a second one of said corners thereby to give the portion of the piece adjacent said second corner a preselected lesser degree of flexibility correlated with the size of said second hole.

A plectrum for a stringed musical instrument comprising a single piece of resilient molded plastic material, said piece being generally U-shaped and having a base and first and second legs spaced from each other and projecting outwardly from opposite ends of said base, a rounded corner portion formed on the outer end of each of said legs and adapted to be used selectively for engaging the strings of the instrument while said piece is held adjacent said base, a first hole of predetermined size formed in the corner portion of said first leg thereby to give the corner portion a preselected degree of flexibility correlated with the size of said first hole, and a second hole of a predetermined size smaller than the size of said first hole and formed in the corner portion of said second leg thereby to give the corner portion of the second leg a preselected lesser degree of flexibility correlated with the size of said second hole.
