Teebs Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 "The plectra for the Japanese biwa and shamisen can be quite large, and those used for the Arabic oud are longer and narrower, replacing the formerly used eagle feather." Wikipedia Picks / Plectra should henceforth be replaced by eagle feathers - sooo much more poetic! *runs away cackling maniacally* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 And another thing The arm on a 6 string is not a Tremolo. It's a Vibrato. Tremolo changes volume and Vibrato changes pitch, therefore the string wobbling arm on a 6 string electric cannot be a Tremolo arm. Ever. No dispute.

songofthewind Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 “Plectrum” is very Bert Weedon. When all we had was mail order cello guitars, as we used to call them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassie Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) I call it a pick because I like to say "pick" rather than "plectrum". "Plectrum" is two syllables and therefore takes twice as long to say than "pick" does. I'm a busy man y'know...
