AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
In the eternal quest for the perfect tone, musicians have explored countless avenues, and pursuing the ultimate sound has always been at the core. For over a century, the pinnacle of tonal excellence was meticulously carved from the shells of endangered Hawksbill sea turtles, commonly known as tortoise shell. This material was favoured by top-stringed instrument players for its exceptional tonal qualities. However, due to the endangerment of the species, the production of these picks ceased.
But the relentless pursuit of tone has finally reached its destination! It's time to unveil the true potential of your instrument's sound. At ToneSlabs, we've unlocked the long-guarded secrets of that natural material. In fact, our unique combination of hardness, rigidity, density, innovative design, and top-tier bevel techniques surpasses the tonal quality of traditional tortoise shell picks. Your pick, your "slab," is the vital link between the musician and the instrument, holding the key to volume, clarity, and note separation – the holy grail of discerning musicians.
ToneSlabs takes the power of this tonal essence and the responsibility it carries very seriously. Co-founders David Welch and Multi-Grammy nominated artist Frank Solivan have dedicated decades to performing, searching, tinkering, and experimenting for the perfect pick that produces the ultimate tone. Their meticulous attention to detail, combined with the finest materials and proprietary Compound Bevels, positions ToneSlabs as the premier pick in the world of plectrums.
The Darth Tone series of picks preserves the shapes and thicknesses you love while introducing a unique "Imide" material that enhances bass response while preserving unmatched clarity. These picks also boast extraordinary durability, capable of withstanding the rigours of stringed instrument play while maintaining their tonal integrity.
Our picks are meticulously crafted from carefully selected polyamide-imide materials, often used in aerospace applications to replace metallic alloys. Their low friction coefficient enables lightning-fast playing, while their high erosion resistance ensures they can endure the demanding nature of stringed instrument play. Beyond the superior material, our pick design includes a precision-engineered bevel. Despite its thickness compared to industry standards, our pick plays as effortlessly as a thin one, offering the control and consistency of a thicker pick.
