Teardrop Guitar Pick: Torlon Ultem Hybrid Plectrum
Exclusive three-layer guitar pick made of high quality Torlon and Ultem plastic. Two external Ultem layers and one internal Torlon core, with a logo between the layers. A very comfortable, extremely durable and great-sounding guitar plectrum.
~ Important! The price is for a single piece ~
Shape & Dimensions
Teardrop
Length: 37mm, Width: 26mm, Thickness: 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm or 10mm
Craftsmanship
Handcrafted — sawn, carved, shaped and polished using workshop power tools.
The non-standard thickness minimizes movement, increases precision, strength and speed. Playing requires less effort, reducing muscle cramps and tension for more comfortable long sessions.
Material Properties
Ultem (PEI – Polyetherimide):
- High thermal (up to 210°C) and chemical resistance
- Moderate vibration absorption — introduces warmth and organic character of sound
- Lightweight (density ~1.27 g/cm³) despite thickness
Torlon (PAI – Polyamide-imide):
- Ultra-durable polymer with the highest mechanical and thermal resistance (up to 270°C)
- Rigidity with controlled vibration absorption — reduces sharpness while maintaining precision
- Resistant to creep and deformation under load
Sound Characteristics
Outer layers (Ultem):
- Dampens metallic sharpness, introducing midrange warmth and bass depth
- Gives the sound a soft envelope, characteristic of materials with good vibration absorption
Core (Torlon):
- Stabilizes the sound, emphasizing precise attack and high-frequency detail
- Prevents the sound from "smearing" in fast passages
Final effect: rich, balanced sound — the organic warmth of Ultem with the precision of Torlon, ideal for techniques combining expression and control.
Durability & Ergonomics
- Torlon and Ultem create an indestructible system — resistant to cracks, abrasion and deformation
- Exceptional durability even during aggressive play
- Massive construction dedicated to players who prefer heavy, stable plectrums
Playability
- Dominant Torlon stiffness provides precision in lead techniques (shredding, tapping)
- Ultem adds natural flexibility in the strike
- Ultem minimizes friction for fast glide over the strings
- Torlon stabilizes the sound, reducing unwanted noise
Summary
The Ultem-Torlon hybrid is an elite tool for virtuosos that combines the organic warmth of Ultem with the indestructibility and precision of Torlon. Rich, complex sound — ideal for music that requires both technique and expression.
Best for: progressive metal, jazz fusion, experimental rock, long studio sessions — where control over dynamics and nuance counts.
A plectrum for sound explorers who treat playing as an art of engineering — where every detail matters, and the tool is as unique as the music.
