ABSTRACT:
A tripoint plectrum for string instruments according to the present invention is formed as a single piece unit having a body portion from which three equally spaced, parallel arranged pick members extend. The central pick member extends further from the body portion than do the outer two pick members and is provided with a peripheral edge which extends beyond a sidewall of the base portion. The one piece construction of the tripoint plectrum permits the central pick and one of the other outer picks to displace the string on both the downstroke and the upstroke while reducing unwanted vibration and resonance.
