ABSTRACT:
A body member formed of a length of wire-like material has side extensions arranged to engage longitudinally the under portion of a finger adjacent each side. The body member has a front projecting portion comprising a string picking head, and a flexible strap is secured at opposite ends thereof to the side extensions of the body member for holding the pick on a musician's finger. The strap is adjustable in length to adjust to different size fingers and is also adjustable longitudinally along the side extensions. The body member preferably has the characteristics of spring steel wire whereby to be sufficiently rigid for picking but at the same time is bendable into selected shapes to provide various picking head arrangements and also to be made to conform to the contour of a musician's finger. The picking head may have a resilient picking surface for tone quality.
