A plectrum grip for guitar players, having a body with a cavity that creates a space between a plectrum and the grip. The device aims to provide a better grip and produce a brighter and more consistent sound than plucking with a standard plectrum. The grip may also include a gripping material to prevent slipping and may taper in width from the grip first end to the grip second end. The cavity fully encapsulates at least half of the plectrum, and the inner surface may be lined with an adhesive to prevent the plectrum from dislodging.
1. A plectrum grip consisting of:
a unitary body formed as a thin wall having an outer surface and an inner surface, the body extending from a grip first end to a grip second end along a second length that is less than a first length of a plectrum; and,
a cavity within the body defined between the inner surface and an opening at the grip second end, the cavity configured to slidably and removably receive at least one-half of the plectrum such that a tip of the plectrum resides externally from the body when fully inserted; and,
wherein the body flares outward adjacent the grip first end to define a first width that is greater than a second width at the grip second end, such that the body tapers from the first width to the second width;
wherein the inner surface of the body includes a frictional lining or adhesive configured to resist dislodgment of the plectrum from the cavity during use; and,
wherein the outer surface of the body includes a gripping material that is adhered, embedded, or formed with the outer surface and configured to resist slipping from a user's fingers; and wherein a minimal gap or frictional engagement is present between the inner surface and the plectrum to provide a snug fit without perceptibly diminishing haptic feedback to the user during strumming.
