ABSTRACT:
A novel apparatus for holding a plectrum in graspable relation to a hand is taught which comprises a hand engaging portion, a resilient member, fastening elements, and a plectrum. The hand engaging portion is adapted to engage a portion of the musician's hand, and to be fastened to a proximal end of the resilient member. A distal end of the resilient member is fastened to the plectrum. Preferably, the proximal end of the resilient member is fastened to the hand engaging portion so that the resilient member projects outwardly from the hand, with the distal end of the resilient member positioned in spaced-relation to the hand. The distal end of the resilient member is fastened to the plectrum so that the plectrum is held (i) in graspable relation to the musician's fingers, and (ii) in a preferred orientation relative to the musician's fingers. A novel method of playing a stringed instrument is also taught.
