Pick for stringed musical instruments

A unitary pick for plucking a stringed musical instrument comprising a flat blade having a longitudinal axis and a maximum width in a direction that is normal to said longitudinal axis, said blade being formed with a point at one end of the longitudinal axis that adapts said unitary pick for engaging strings of an instrument, said blade also being formed with wide, substantially flat surfaces on opposite sides of said blade extending along the longitudinal axis away from the pointed end of said blade, said unitary pick also having a substantially straight fin projecting outward from a first one of the wide, substantially flat surfaces of said blade, said fin extending across no more than the maximum width of said blade and being disposed at an angle that is not parallel to the longitudinal axis of said blade, said fin having a thickness parallel to the longitudinal axis which is no greater than a distance which said fin projects outward from the first substantially flat surface of said blade, said pick being adapted to be held within a musician's hand by contact with said fin and to be stabilized there by one of the flat surfaces of said blade.
