ABSTRACT:
A multi-function plectrum includes a substantially triangularly shaped body. The body includes a first leg, a second leg and a third leg. The first leg includes a rounded edge. The second leg includes a rounded edge. One end of the first leg is joined to one end of the second leg. A picking projection extends from the other end of the second leg. The picking projection comes to a substantial point and tapers gradually to meet a thickness of the body. A taping projection extends from the other end of the second and third legs. Material is removed from substantially a middle of the body on at least one side to create a cavity for a finger or thumb. The body is fabricated from a non-flexible material, such as glass, porcelain, stone, granite resin composite, a gemstone, steel, synthetic polymer resin or any other suitable material.
