Pick

Standard tool term for musicians and instrument repair

A small, piece of plastic often triangular or "teardrop" in shape. Guitar picks come in varying colors and thicknesses (thin, medium, hard, etc.) and can only be bought in packs. Also an alternative term for "pluck", as in, to "pick" a string.

I just bought a pack of 2,000 picks on eBay. Pick your 4th string, I think it's out of tune.
