A very nice plectrum indeed if you just know how to use it. This product is for classical mandolin and used for the right instrument it is fantastic. It does not slip in the hand and it actually makes the mandolin sound like a better instrument! Although it does NOT work for bluegrass types mandolins, such users will find it flimsy, but its NOT, used as it should! It would be nice if it came in, at least, two different thinknesses though.
