Introducing the Apollo. Named after the Greek god of music, truth, the Sun, and more. He is the son of Zeus and the twin brother of Artemis. As the god of Mousike (art of Muses), Apollo presides over all music, songs, dance and poetry and is the companion of the Muses (functioning as their chorus leader in celebrations). The lyre is a common attribute of Apollo.

This plectrum is the embodiment of all of these traits; its size and shape will inspire and the familiarity of the Jazz III will give a foundation to start from. However; this is where the familiarity with “other” picks end; you can specify thickness anywhere from 5-9mm thickness (make note of desired thickness otherwise default is 6mm). The Ultem will have a brushed face (this adds to its enhanced grip) and the polished sides and tip will allow effortless gliding across the strings.

Good product

Game changer

This pick has become my go to pick.
Smooth, rich sounding and very comfortable to use.
Gotta love purple plectrums for giving musicians quality picks which last for a very long time without losing all the traits that made me fall in love with them.
The customer service is amazing and make you realise that giving them a chance was one of the best decision you’ve made for your musical life.
Can’t recommend this enough.

A little small for me, but it’s a great pick for detailed parts and surprisingly, strumming. It has a slightly higher sounding attack than the Iommi I got.

New Life in Old Hands

Thanks to Kori, I now have a regret; that I didn't find Purple Plectrums sooner. When my shipment from Kori first arrived, I went straight to my studio and put them through their paces. I have arthritis in my nearly-golden years, which over time severely limited my ability to play without shooting pain from trying to hold my pick, or, often failing to hold my pick at all. I'm playing a six-string guitar again instead of a six-string trebuchet. The Ultem is effortless to grip and stays where you put it between your thumb and forefinger. Aside from a short period of working out the 5mm difference between the Apollo in Ultem and the Jim Dunlop Jazz III's I've used over the last three decades, (which did temporarily affect pick attack), I was pleasantly surprised to find no remarkable difference in tone between Jazz III and Ultem, even though Ultem is clearly more dense.

Brass Tacks: While Kori's plectrums cannot cure an advanced-aged fusion jazz man's arthritis, they do expand playing opportunity and, honestly, they've more than doubled the time I can spend doing what I love most. Given time is the world's most precious resource, this is reason enough to make the switch from Jazz III's, (sorry Jim), to Purple Plectrum's Apollo in Ultem.

On a personal note; thanks, Kori, for breathing new life into my old hands.
