Galli MGH-7 Gypsy Jazz Ox Horn Standard Pick

The Galli MGH-7 Gypsy Jazz Pick, ox horn, standard, offers authentic tone and feel for guitarists who want to embrace the characteristic Django Reinhardt style. Made of ox horn, this pick delivers a fast, direct attack with a warm midrange that makes Gypsy Jazz applications sound sharp and punchy.

The standard size fits comfortably in the hand and offers control during fast arpeggios, short staccatos, and swinging comping. The natural grip and unique horn texture provide a consistent feel, regardless of tempo or dynamic. This pick is ideal for players who value tone definition, precision, and durability without added coating or artificial sheen.

Why This Pick is Different

• Natural Response: The bright attack provides string response for fast picking and percussive accents, just what Gypsy Jazz requires.
• Unique Tonality: Each pick nuances the tone through its own horn pattern, so no two performances sound exactly the same.
• Long-lasting durability: Ox horn wears out less quickly under aggressive impact than many plastic alternatives, resulting in longer playing fun.

Practical use cases

• Sharp, staccato riffs with clear snare tone and articulate string response.
• Live performances where consistency and tone definition are crucial, without relying on coatings or gloss finishes.

Maintenance and tips

• After playing, clean the pick with a dry, soft cloth; moisture can damage the horn patina.
• Store the pick in a dry, dust-free box or case to prevent cracking due to temperature fluctuations.
• Regularly test different strike angles and pressure levels to find the desired balance between attack and control.
