Tri Tones Curly Maple

African Ebony picks offer when of the nicest clean sound you will ever get, and can withstand the assaults of electric guitar use. Ebony is one of the most popular timbers for lead guitar uses. There is one thing it is not great at though: its grain makes Ebony unpleasant to hold, and it has a poor grip.

Fear not, for here come the Tri Tones. By laminating a leaf of Ebony between two thin leaves of grippier, more comfortable timbers, we get a plectrum that gets the best of both worlds: a great natural grip and great natural sound. In addition, it is lighter than a full Ebony pick.
 

Grip:

Curly Maple feels slightly grainy and extremely light. What do we mean by light? If you've ever held a piece of balsa wood, you know exactly what we mean: it feels like it’s filled with air, not because of its weight, but because of its touch. Curly Maple's colour also gives an appealing light and dark contrast with Ebony.

Tone:

African Ebony is a very close grained timber that polishes to a smooth finish, this ensures that you get a clean crisp sound. The hardness ensures that it can withstand the rigors of electric guitar playing. If used on an acoustic guitar it will dramatically brighten the sound
