Buffalo Horn is hand carved and polished to a fine gloss to make these new John Pearse® Buffalo Horn Picks exquisitely beautiful!
An incredibly dense and yet light material, you get the same ease and fast response as you would with tortoise shell! But, these are legal!
The SAROD is a thicker pick because it is carved on both sides for thumb and index finger to hold. It is the same sort of carving as on our Ebony or Rosewood Sarod Picks mentioned below. It is also a RIGHT-HANDED pick. At the moment, we don't have this style available for left-handed players...but we do have the DIMPLE....keep reading.
The DIMPLE "feels" like a thinner pick because it is only carved on one side...the "dimple" for the thumb! That also makes it EITHER RIGHT or LEFT-handed! It also works well if you like to play with the "shoulder" of the pick rather than the point!
The FANCY FLAT is exactly that--a flat pick of Buffalo Horn. If you are interested in carving your own, it makes a starter blank!
