New Obbligato Isotropic Carbon Pick

Obbligato, Inc. has released its Black Diamond Isotropic Carbon guitar pick with tone and feel described by the company as "reminiscent of true tortoise shell."

The design is made from a very fine grain carbon not well known outside of the medical community, according to Obbligato.

The standard shape is .022" thick and is “so precise you can feel the strings, ” the manufacturer says. “The Black Diamond surface is smooth to the touch yet will not slip or rotate in your fingers even when wet, ” they assure.

The Black Diamond Picks ship with a protective carrying case and care instructions.

Unlike metal picks, Black Diamond does not prematurely wear strings before they go dead, according to Obbligato, adding that “the tone and playability is better than tortoise shell, ivory, metal, stone, or plastic.”
