Sik Pik

The evolution has begun. Transcending the two-dimensional world of the flat pick, the Sik Pik moves into a new dimension of sound, dynamics, and feel. Here in the golden age of the guitar, it is time that the nature of playing the instrument reflects a new sensibility. To allow players to get more out of their instruments without having to modify either the instrument or one?s technique. The evolution encompasses a new sound. The sound of a note that is round and beautiful from the start. That begins without a click. The Sik Pik possesses incredible dynamics. It is to the guitar what the bow is to the violin. Like coaxing notes from the string. A feeling of flow, from one string to another. The smallest possible effort to create a note. Here comes an evolution?in creativity.

The evolutionary concept of the Sik Pik is that ?the face of the pick should be perpendicular to the strings, not parallel,? as stated in the Utility Patent Application (filed 09/07/09). By using the side of the pick, the Sik Pik does not click or hang on the strings as a standard plectrum. This provides a smooth round tone, gliding across the strings.
