Three materials. One sacred animal. One box.
Some things come in threes for a reason.
The Nativo Trilogy was not assembled arbitrarily. Black horn, clear horn, and white bone — three entirely different materials, three entirely different playing experiences, all from the same sacred animal. All from the same extraordinary island. All shaped with a single-sided contour that sits naturally against the finger, flat against the thumb, and disappears in the hand the moment you start to play.
This is the collection for the player who wants to feel the difference without overthinking it.
Three picks. Three faces of the same animal. Each one sourced from Madagascar, where the Zebu is not simply cattle but the beating heart of an entire culture — present at births, marriages, funerals, and sacred ceremonies, honored in life and in death, wasted in neither.
At 1.5mm, the Trilogy Semi-Flat picks are thinner and more responsive than their Dual Grip counterparts — closer to the string, quicker off the attack, with a lightness in the hand that suits players who want feel over force. The single-sided contour cradles the finger naturally on top while the flat underside gives the thumb a clean, uninterrupted reference point. It is not a compromise between flat and contoured. It is its own thing entirely.
Black Zebu Horn — Naturally jet black, warm to the touch, fluid against the string. Smooth and organic, with a tone that is warm and immediate. The dark face of the sacred animal, polished to a deep lustrous finish that looks like obsidian and plays like nothing else.
Clear Zebu Horn — Translucent amber and honey, glowing when held to the light. The material that defined tortoiseshell, inspired a century of plastic imitation, and has never once been improved upon. Alive with color, warm in the hand, and unmistakably real.
White Zebu Bone — Creamy ivory, bright and articulate, with the mineral clarity that has made bone the choice of master luthiers for centuries. The same material trusted for the finest guitar nuts and saddles, now shaped into the most intimate point of contact between player and instrument.
Three picks deserve a home that reflects where they came from. The Nativo Trilogy arrives in a natural wood box — warm, honest, and unadorned. No lacquer. No artifice. Just wood, the way the island intended it.
It sits well on a desk. It travels well in a bag. It gives well at any occasion.
The Trilogy is the player's set. Three thicknesses of story, three tonal characters, three feelings in the hand — all from the same source, all telling slightly different versions of the same remarkable tale. Players who work with the Trilogy often find that they reach for different picks at different moments — black horn for one guitar, clear horn for another, bone when they need the string to speak more clearly.
At 1.5mm, these picks reward a light touch. They are fast, responsive, and honest. They will tell you things about your playing that a thicker pick absorbs and hides.
The Trilogy makes sense as a gift in a way that a single pick rarely does. It gives the player options without overwhelming them. It tells a complete story — three materials, one animal, one island — in a format that is elegant rather than excessive.
It fits in a jacket pocket. It sits beautifully on a studio console. It arrives in natural wood and requires no explanation beyond opening the box and picking one up.
Three picks. One sacred animal. Everything you need and nothing you don't.
