Will using a guitar pick on an ukulele mess it up?

While using a guitar pick with an ukulele may provide a different sound, similar to a banjo or a mandolin, it is not generally advisable to use a guitar pick on a ukulele as it can cause damage to the instrument. Guitar picks are typically thicker and stiffer than ukulele picks and can apply too much force on the delicate strings of a ukulele, potentially causing them to break. Ukuleles are designed to be played with a soft felt pick, which are gentler and more suitable for the instrument's construction and sound.
