A plectrum is a small, flat piece of plastic, wood, or other materials used to pluck the strings of a musical instrument. It is commonly used with instruments like guitars, harpsichords, and mandolins. The plectrum is held between the fingers and strummed or picked against the strings to produce sound. It helps in controlling the strength and direction of each stroke, affecting the instrument’s tone and volume.
