Elevating rustic artisan elegance to a grand crescendo, this brass guitar pick lets music speak to your soul with filed edges and smooth surfaces for a graceful glide, while the soft blending of a grey patina and hammered texture tantalize the eyes with vocal visuals that further transcend words.

Custom cut from 20 gauge brass in our own studio and hand stamped with the text “When Words Fail, Music Speaks,” we designed our pick to offer a little magic in the spotlight both on and off stage with an unmistakable yellow golden glow and of course a metallic sound destined to sing to the ears in bright tones, playful slides, or terrifying rasps between airy notes.

Similar in geometry to a plastic pick for an easy transition from plastic to metal, the pick is also uniquely our own design measuring about 1.25 inches long by 1.15 inches wide at the top and can be personalized with names, dates, text, and symbols in place of or in addition to the “when words fail music speaks.”

Coined by Hans Christian Anderson, the original quote is actually “where words fail,” which has evolved into a more colloquial adaption of “when” as an emphasis on a moment in time rather than “where” as a place in language or communication. If you would prefer the original expression as intended by the author, simply let us know in the notes box, and we can stamp “where words fail..”

Our picks do not ship with the black stand shown in the photos, however we do make custom and personalized guitar pick stands in all metals to match your guitar pick
