ROMBO

We research the areas of surface finish and design to find the perfect balance among grip, ergonomics and function for our guitar picks.

We are excited to launch our new line of guitar plectrums in 2023! These plectrums are the result of months of research and development, and we believe they enhance our product palette by filling some niches that we have yet to explore. We set three main goals during development: tone, durability, and ergonomics. We are thrilled about the new designs 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 Lots of people have sent us emails and letters regarding the grip structure. With the micro-nodules, we have the advantage of medium-grip surfaces, which add a lot of control. However, a small number of people want the picks to have more grip. We had to make a decision here, and it was difficult. We will slightly increase the "grain density" on the textured areas, so there are more "micro-nodules" per square millimeter. This way, we hope to satisfy the needs of all groups. Overall, we believe our new plectrums are the perfect combination of form and function, and we are confident that guitarists everywhere will love them. #guitarpicklaunch #newguitarpicks #guitarpickrelease #guitarpickdebut #guitarpickproductlaunch #guitarpickunveiling #electricguitarpicks #electricguitaraccessories #electricguitarplayer #electricguitarplayers #electricguitarlife #electricguitarsolo #electricguitaristsofinstagram #electricguitarists #electricguitarstrings #electricguitarstyle #electricguitarcollection #electricguitarworld #electricguitarhero #electricguitarmusic #electricguitarcover #electricguitarra #electricguitarart #electricguitargear #rombopicks (at Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmjKnJEsdp3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✍🎸📖🎵🎶🎼 THE ORIGIN OF MODERN GUITAR THEORY ✍🎸📖🎵🎶🎼 Guitar theory has its roots in the music and musical instruments of ancient civilizations. The earliest known stringed instruments were plucked lutes, which were popular in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. These instruments had a limited number of strings and a relatively simple tuning system. In the Middle Ages, the lute became a popular instrument in Europe and was used to play a variety of music, including religious hymns and secular songs. The lute had a more complex tuning system and a greater number of strings than earlier instruments. The modern guitar evolved from the lute in the 16th and 17th centuries. The guitar was originally an instrument of the lower classes, but it gained popularity with the upper classes in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the 19th and 20th centuries, guitar music and theory became more sophisticated, and the instrument was used in a variety of musical genres, including classical, jazz, and popular music. Today, guitar theory encompasses a wide range of topics, including scales, chords, harmony, and musical notation. It is an essential part of the study of the guitar and is important for all aspiring guitarists to understand. #guitartheory #guitarlessons #guitarplayer #guitarplayers #guitaristsofinstagram #guitarists #guitarworld #guitarhero #guitarmusic #guitarstyle #guitarcollection #guitarcover #guitarra #guitarart #guitargear #guitarscales #guitarchords #guitarharmony #guitarnotation #guitarconcepts #guitarplaying #guitartechniques #guitarfundamentals #guitarintervals #guitarmodes #rombopicks (at Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmgg365M6mQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

⚡⚡ SWEEP PICKING ⚡⚡ Sweep picking is a guitar technique that involves rapidly alternating between single notes on different strings while using a picking motion that "sweeps" across the strings. The type of guitar pick that is best for sweep picking is a matter of personal preference, as different picks can produce different tones and feel differently to play with. Here are a few factors to consider when choosing a pick for sweep picking: 🟢 Thickness: A thicker pick will typically produce a louder, more powerful sound and may be easier to control when playing fast, intricate patterns. On the other hand, a thinner pick may offer a brighter, more defined tone and may be more comfortable to hold for extended periods of time. 🟢 Material: Picks are made from a variety of materials, including plastic, celluloid, and metal, each of which can produce a different tone. Plastic picks are common and tend to be fairly inexpensive, but they can wear down over time. Celluloid picks offer a more traditional feel and tone, while metal picks can produce a bright, crisp sound. 🟢 Shape: Picks come in a variety of shapes, each of which can affect the feel and tone of your playing. A pick with a pointed tip may offer a more defined attack and a brighter tone, while a rounded tip may produce a softer, warmer sound. Ultimately, the best pick for sweep picking is one that feels comfortable in your hand and produces the tone you desire. Experimenting with different picks can help you find the one that works best for you. #guitarpick #guitaraccessories #guitarplayer #guitarplayers #guitarlife #guitarsolo #guitaristsofinstagram #guitarists #guitarstrings #guitarstyle #guitarcollection #guitarworld #guitarhero #guitarmusic #guitarcover #guitarra #guitarart #guitargear #guitarlessons #guitarcoverband #guitarcoverart #guitarcoverpage #guitarpickholder #guitarpickcollection (at Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmeF3H4MqZE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎸⚡ALTERNATE PICKING⚡🎸 Alternate picking is a guitar technique that involves using a downstroke followed by an upstroke when playing consecutive notes on a single string, or switching between strings using downstrokes on the lower-pitched string and upstrokes on the higher-pitched string. This technique is often contrasted with economy picking, in which the pick follows the contour of the phrases being played and may involve using both downstrokes and upstrokes on the same string. There are several advantages to using alternate picking on electric guitar: 1️⃣ Speed: Alternate picking is generally considered to be the most efficient technique for playing fast passages on guitar, as it allows the player to maintain a consistent down-up motion with the pick, which can be easier to control than using a mix of downstrokes and upstrokes. 2️⃣ Accuracy: Alternate picking can also help to improve accuracy when playing guitar, as it allows the player to maintain a consistent attack on the strings and to play with greater precision and control. This can be especially useful for playing complex passages that require precise timing and phrasing. 3️⃣ Consistency: Using alternate picking can also help to improve consistency in your playing, as it allows you to maintain a consistent picking motion and to avoid the potential for errors that can occur when switching between downstrokes and upstrokes. This can be especially useful when playing in a band setting, where consistent phrasing and timing are essential. 4️⃣ Dynamics: Alternate picking can also allow for greater control over dynamics when playing guitar, as it allows the player to use the pick to vary the volume and attack of individual notes. This can be especially useful for adding expression and interest to your playing. #guitar #guitarplayer #guitarist #guitarlife #guitarsolo #guitarcover #guitarra #guitarstrings #guitarhero #guitarlessons #guitarart #guitarcollection #guitarphoto #guitarphotography #guitarplayerlife #guitarmusic #guitarplayers #guitarplaying #guitarrepair #guitaraccessories #rombopicks #alternatepicking #guitarpick #plectrum (at Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmb21F2sBbq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

While new guitar gear can certainly be fun and exciting, it is important to understand that it will not make you a better player on its own. At the end of the day, your ability to play guitar well depends on your own skills, practice, and dedication, not on the gear you are using. New gear can certainly help to enhance your playing in some ways. For example, a better guitar or amplifier may have a higher quality sound, which can make your playing sound better. However, this does not mean that you will automatically play better just because you are using better gear. In fact, if you do not put in the effort to improve your skills, you may not even be able to fully take advantage of the capabilities of your new gear. In short, while new gear can be a nice addition to your setup, it is important to remember that it is not a substitute for hard work and dedication. To truly improve as a player, you need to put in the time and effort to practice and develop your skills. #guitarmotivation #newgear #guitarpicks #rombopicks #telecaster #blackguitar #varietypack #plectrums #plektren #picks #fretboard #productdesign #photogaphy #guitarphotography #guitarlove #fender #heroperspective #perspective #photoshop #creativephotography #musicphotography #guitars #electricguitar #guitarra #guitarpsychology #interestingfacts #guitarfacts (at Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmZg8SDMx0w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MORE INFORMATION AND DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE GUITAR PICKS Guitar picks rarely have proper packaging with the product description. However, in most online shops for guitar picks, the product pages show you everything you need to know. Usually they display a couple of pictures of the guitar picks, inform about the guitar pick material, the thickness, the shape, and they include a detailed description of the plectrum and its features. Nevertheless, we care a lot about packaging and want you to have this information in your hands as well. This is the reason we created a packaging with a lot of printing area. You can visit online guitar pick websites and compare products. This will make you a more educated customer that can take decisions based on facts. It will make you reflect on your guitar playing style and which necessities your guitar pick should cover. #rombopicks #productphotography #photography #productpackaging #graphicdesign #closeup #depthoffield #plectrum #guitaraccessories #whitepick #papercraft #instruments #paperlove #layoutdesign #guitars #miniature #startup #musicstartup #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography (at Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmPAXbJMvTt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Think about it: The guitar, strings, amp, cable, and effects pedals are all pieces of the guitar gear that play a role in tone. Surprise: guitar picks too! Use a rounded thick nylon pick and you’ll get mellower, darker, and thicker tones. Use a pointy medium Tortex guitar pick and your tone will be as bright as you can imagine. It only takes two seconds and the cost of a coffee to change your pick and increase your tone spectrum. Larger tone repertoire means larger versatility. Music is about staying dynamic, and monotony kills dynamics. Therefore, your most logical step as a guitarist is to find ways of expanding your repertoire of tones and techniques. This happens with practice and the right guitar gear. A Variety Pack is not only an excellent gift for your musician friends, but also for yourself if you are looking to explore tones, develop specific skills, or just need fresh air and try new guitar gear. Different qualities like shape, thickness, or material, make guitar picks very different tools for different requirements. You will learn a lot in the process of testing them and every fresh input can help keep your motivation at the highest level. The worst case: You will discover your new favorite pick! #guitarpick #varietypack #gibson #rombopicks #fender #guitargear #6strings #telecaster #playguitar #guitarist #guitarra #guitarraelectrica #eguitar #electricguitar #guitartone #guitarmusic #knowyourtone #plectrum #plektren #plettri (at Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCRJhqsCPP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MEDIUM GUITAR PICKS ARE THE BEST PICKS FOR BEGINNERS: For most beginner guitar players, medium gauge guitar picks are the best option. You are in a process in which experimenting with sounds and learning new techniques will shape your profile as a guitarist in the future. You might change your music taste during this process or even change your guitar type. You must stay flexible and versatile to allow your skills to develop in all directions and be a more rounded guitarist. For this, a medium guitar pick is perfect, since you will be able to try different techniques with a pick that works very well in many different areas. After you have decided the direction of your development as a guitarist, increasing or decreasing the gauge won’t be that difficult. Therefore, this is statistically the best option to start with if you want to try different guitar learning paths. However, there are some exceptions: Some beginner guitarists know exactly what kind of player they want to be. They know from the very beginning if their dream is to become a very technical metal player, if they prefer being an expert acoustic guitar rhythm player, or if they will focus on songwriting and not on their guitar skills. These examples are very rare, but they exist. In this case, you might want to consider starting with a guitar pick that has been designed for the type of skills you want to improve. #rombopicks #guitarpick #plectrum #guitarpicks #acousticguitar #riffwars #music #Egitarre #guitarlife #pickupjazz #guitargear #吉他 #ギターピック #エレキギター #アコースティックギター#slideguitar #soundofguitars #instaguitars #highonguitar #guitarbeginner #gitarrespielen #guitarpractice #guitarphotography #plektren (at Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl_cBLaMc0l/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

WHY DOES GUITAR PICK THICKNESS MATTER? Guitar playing techniques, like fast palm mute, or pick slides, will damage your guitar pick very easily. The thickness of a guitar pick is for this reason considered one of the 4 fundamental attributes of a guitar pick, along with guitar pick material, shape, and size. #rombopicks #guitarpick #plectrum #guitarpicks #acousticguitar #riffwars #music #Egitarre #guitarlife #pickupjazz #guitargear #吉他 #ギターピック #エレキギター #アコースティックギター#slideguitar #soundofguitars #instaguitars #highonguitar #guitarbeginner #gitarrespielen #guitarpractice #guitarphotography #plektren (at Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6rgTXMDoc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
