I just discovered to my surprise that several of my unused plectrums have begun to wax over, become soft or brittle. I noticed this first in the Fernando 1.3 mm picks, which had gotten soft, and to my horror found my precious George Dennis picks getting brittle and snapping easily. I kept these stored in a drawer and they are about 2 years old.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I know the formulation in some new plastics is poor or intended to biodegrade quickly. But plectrums?
