Isotropic Carbon Guitar Pick


Obbligato Releases the World's First Isotropic Carbon Guitar Pick

Obbligato, Inc. releases the world's first Isotropic Carbon guitar pick with tone and feel that is very reminiscent of true tortoise shell. The patent pending design is made from a very fine grain carbon not well known outside of the medical community.

The standard shape is .022" thick and is so precise you can feel the strings. The Black Diamond surface is smooth to the touch yet will not slip or rotate in your fingers even when wet. The Black Diamond Picks ship complete with a protective carrying case and care instructions.

Tested for over two years playing with steel and bronze strings on a wide variety acoustic and electric guitars and show zero wear…even under 4X magnification. Unlike metal picks, Black Diamond does not prematurely wear strings before they go dead.

Best of all, the tone and playability is better than tortoise shell, ivory, metal, stone, or plastic. If you do not lose it you will never need to buy another pick ever.

How Does It Compare to Plastic?

Cost: Higher initial cost but quickly pays for itself in under a year by not having to replace it.

Volume: Slight increase in volume and punchiness over plastic picks.

Tone: Unparalleled rich tone compared to any form of plastic.

Wear: Does not wear or warp like plastic picks ... exponentially longer lifetime than plastic.

Grip: Better abilty to grip than Tortex® plastic picks. Even with sweat and oil.
