D'Addario Accessories 4CSH6-5 Finger Picks

I had been using brass finger picks with a plastic Dunlop thumb pick for a few years and I noticed a difference in the sounds between the two. I wanted to see if I could get away from that metal-on-metal twang that I got from the finger picks, so I switched to flat-wound strings and these plastic finger picks. I know people have complained that they're tight, but, frankly, I know I have medium hands, and the medium picks fit just fine. Yes, they're tight, but they're very flexible, and they do need to be tight to get good control and sound from them. I'm quite happy with the fit. The transition to plastic from metal felt a little awkward for a couple of days, like breaking in a new pair of shoes, but I got used to it. The sound quality is more like that of a plastic pick, now. I may still reserve the metal picks for country/bluegrass styles, though, but for most styles I'll probably use these.

I play slack key guitar, and I wanted to try playing with picks. These were too small for my thumb and fingers. Told to keep them when I tried to return (no exchange option) them. It's exactly what I wanted, just can't find it in a larger size.

It's a nice pic and fit my fat thumb I'm not an expert on these kind of pics though

This is exactly what I needed and far superior to the basic thumb pick. It’s well made and works as promised. I’m primarily a finger style player so I don’t flat pick often but I do like to use a flat pick approach for strumming and fast mandolin style Tremolo. Other thumb picks catch on the strings and get loose or pinch and are basically useless for flat picking. If you’re a straight flat picker with only occasional need for finger style this pick might not be worth the adjustment but if you’re 50/50 or more this is the ticket. For me this product is a game changer and I’ll be ordering more.

I generally have good experiences with Planet Waves. I ordered five LARGE celluloid finger picks to try with nylon-stringed instruments for some extra volume. I ordered large, butnI could barely squeeze them onto my little finger, so they would be right for, maybe, a ten year old girl. These can of course be played with steel string guitars or other instruments where you need finger picks, but celluloid sounds different than steel or brass. Use what sounds right for your instrument, to your ears. Unlike steel picks, it is possible to use files or fingernail files to thin the ends to get a more fingernail-like sound. The picks can also be roughed a little so they are less slippery at the end. That changes the tone. Or polish them for more speed.I agree with what Strube writes, but note that reforming the picks requires, ideally, rapidly boiling water. Hold the pick with needle nose pliers or, better, a surgical needle holder or clamp. Wear one rubber glove on your left hand and TWO on your right. After holding the pick for five seconds in the boiling water, push the pick onto your finger and press it into shape. If you want to bend over the tip a bit more, now is the time. If you are doing a batch of five (one at a time!) you may burn your finger, but not badly, and thanks to the gloves, it will feel better in a few minutes. If it starts burning your skin, pull off the pick for a couple seconds. If it is still too small or if it is now too big, put it back in the water and try again.

These are my first thumb picks. They fit well and are as described.

Não tem muitas observações a se fazer sobre o produto, só que ele de fato é um plástico bem duro, agarra bem no dedo e não parece desgastar tão rápido

tamanho pequeno para os dedos
