ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an apparatus, device or method for manufacturing a grip plectrum or pick formed from a first material (such as, for example, plastic or like material), the plectrum having in one embodiment a generally triangular shaped body with a broad top portion, an intermediate portion, and a narrow bottom portion, with the top and intermediate portion being substantially covered with a second material that has a greater degree of grip than the first material. The plectrum has a generally triangular (and preferably tear-drop) shaped body being made from a first material. A top and intermediate portion of the plectrum are substantially or completely covered by a second material on all four sides (front surface, back surface and both side surfaces) and is adapted to be gripped by the user between the thumb and index finger, with a bottom portion being used to pluck the instrument strings. In one embodiment, the second material is preferably a non-slip material such as rubber or the like.
