ABSTRACT:
A plectrum for stringed musical instruments includes a plurality of resilient brush bristles or fibers arranged in a brush-like manner and mounted on the tip of the plectrum. The brush bristles cause multiple, low intensity impacts upon the strings of the instrument with each stroke of the brush plectrum, creating a different and unique harmonic quality than conventional plectrums or those having multiple pick arrays.
