…what’s the deal with the harp logo, you might ask…
the logo is of a “lyre,” which was a harp-like instrument used by the Ancient Greeks. It turns out that the Ancient Greek’s were among the first users of “picks” in recorded history, and they used it when playing this particular instrument. The device used to “strike” the strings of the lyre was called a Plektron (Latin: Plectrum).
As for the name Apollo, this was the name of the ancient Greek god of, among other things, Music.
so i guess, the name “Apollo Picks” might have been a suitable name for Ancient Greek plektron maker’s business.
The Norman Blake Picks
These picks were developed in collaboration with Norman Blake over the period of three months. The subtleties were carefully refined, and everything is just how it suits his style of playing. The bevel angle and amount, in particular, is different than my standard approach here. I think that you will find that these move quickly through the strings while retaining a fullness in all registers.
