Flashing Guitar Pick, The Firefly Pick, Launches on Popular Crowdfunding Site, Kickstarter
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 10, 2013 -- Kickstarter is well known for helping innovators launch successful music and technology projects, and the new campaign for the Firefly Pick is the perfect combination of both. This innovative guitar pick lights up in perfect sync with strumming motions, creating a rhythmic light show unlike anything witnessed before. Founders Peter Holm and Brandon Williams aim to bring live music to a brand new dimension with Firefly Picks.
The Firefly Pick is an extremely thin, rechargeable electronic device for music lovers of all skill levels. The high brightness LED’s are synched to a fast sensor system that is capable of detecting playing styles of any speed, and on a variety of instruments. Whether used on an electric guitar, ukulele or bass, the intelligent pick senses even the quietest picking action, and lights up in the player’s choice of color. When the Firefly Pick is not in use, the device automatically switches into hibernation mode to conserve power.
The Firefly Pick is available in a variety of different versions for backers to choose from on Kickstarter. The first is the Firefly Pick Original, which lights up in rhythm to the music with quick and precise flashes for each note played on the actual guitar. The second option is the Firefly Pick Air, and unlike the original, this version flashes in response to hand motion, so it works with or without an instrument. The next is the Firefly Pick Duo, which lights up in the color of the owner’s choice on the up stroke, and a different color on the down stroke. The last version, the Firefly Pick Insanity, flashes one color of the player’s choice on the up stroke, and the pick’s randomly selected color on the down stroke. These different styles offer each and every guitar player Firefly Picks that fit them best.
“We wanted to create a way to enhance the live music experience,” says Firefly Pick co-founder Peter Holm, “Which is why we developed the Firefly Pick. Not only is our pick an innovative addition to the music world, it is just plain awesome.”
The Firefly Pick launched today on Kickstarter and the founders hope to raise $30,000 by August 10, 2013. The money raised by the Kickstarter campaign will go towards the manufacturing process, mass production and shipping of the product to backers by November 2013. Players can purchase the Firefly Pick starting at just $49, and backers can even buy picks for the whole band for the early bird special price of $119.
