The Professional Tone Solution for Nylon String Guitars
This is a precision-engineered tool for the serious player, hand-worked from an authentic vintage French "Lavrillier" 5-Franc piece. This plectrum has been specifically shaped and buffed to solve the "nylon string dilemma" once and for all.
The "Fingerstyle" Secret
If you have struggled to find a pick that doesn’t sound thin or "plastic" on nylon strings, this is your answer.
Flesh-and-Nail Attack: The hand-polished, tapered edge provides a warm, rounded response that perfectly mimics the natural sound of a well-groomed fingernail. You get the volume and speed of a plectrum with the organic tone of fingerstyle play.
Mirror-Finished Edges: These have been manually polished to a high luster to ensure they glide across the strings with zero drag. No "bite" and no snagging—just a smooth, bell-like chime.
Superior Ergonomic Grip: The coin’s original raised relief (Marianne profile and laurel wreath) provides a natural, non-slip texture. It feels better in the hand than any modern "tacky" coating and offers total control during fast passages.
Specs:
Material: Lightweight, rigid Post-War French Aluminum.
Finish: Hand-polished mirror edge with a satin-relief grip.
Performance: Optimized for Classical, Flamenco, and Folk/Nylon players.
Add a piece of history to your gear. This plectrum is hand-finished, ready to ship, and built to play.
