Abstract
A thumb pick is provided for attachment to a musician's thumb. The thumb pick includes a string-engaging portion and an integral main body portion including straps for selectively defining a thumb-receiving passageway. The straps are movable between a substantially flat dormant position and a bowed thumb-receiving position. The string-engaging portion and the main body portion are substantially coplanar when the straps are in their dormant position. The string-engaging portion is positioned to extend transverse to the axis of the thumb and on a plane that is common to that axis.
