Your cart is empty. Why would I use finger picks?
These celluloid thumb and finger picks are great in improving the sound quality and clarity as well as to gain volume as you finger pick your guitar / banjo / ukulele.
Here you can find some tips:
- Adjust the finger picks on the tips of you fingers, with the pad of your finger resting against the playing side. Put the thumb pick on your thumb and use the part that is sticking out to pluck the guitar strings.
- Twist the finger picks slightly to reach the best position where the pick comes flat against the string. This twisting means that the pick tongue may not be on the same plane as the finger nail. The amount of twist depends on your wrist position, and may vary from one finger to another.
- Wear the finger picks so that only the pick touches the string, not your finger. If the fingers touch the string, they tend to affect the sound.
Adjusting the size and shape for a custom fit:
The size and shape of the picks can be adjusted for custom fit for each individual finger with the aid of hot water. Use this procedure at your own risk.
Dip the pick (or the part that is to be modified) briefly in hot water with tongs. Avoid too long exposure to hot water, so that the pick does not lose its structure. Take the pick out of the water and make sure not to burn your fingers. Adjust the shape of the pick, and then hold it in the desired shape while dipping it into ice cold water until it hardens into the new shape.
This procedure can be used, if the picks are too small or large for your fingers or you want to modify the curve of the tip of the pick. You can mark different picks with a marker if you want to have custom fit for each finger.

These picks work perfectly for me on the banjo. I prefer these picks to the much-used metal picks: they have such a good feel and create a far better tone.

This product is poor, the reason, apparently in China the fingers are very small. As a guitar player, and an average American, I can never get the right sizes. My fingers are large, not super large, large normal. This is the second time I have made a purchase for items related to the fingers, and their large is SUPER SMALL. Yes, I'm frustrated as I'm learning and time is important. Now I have to wait to get the proper size. I think these sellers should so as they do sizes for shoes. I note, some shoes actually point out the country for the size. In America, we drink lots of milk, meat highly nutritional foods, our bodies are larger. Since very little is made in the USA anymore, the size issue is poor.

A bit small for my fingers, but they do say you can put them in hot water and size them to your hands. So I’ll be trying that.Overall, very pleased with the picks. Excited to learn the new picking style!

These are the perfect picks for my guitar playing. While they were a bit "tight", I put each on a fork and held the pick in very hot (not boiling) water for about 20 - 30 seconds.Then, I fit the pick onto my finger or thumb for a bit, ran it under cold water, and it fits well!

Got these as a gift for a family member, and they make for a very pleasant sounding sharp and consistent tone when you play. It will take a bit of getting used to from regular finger picking, but she loves them! Comes with a little soft case to keep them in and they seem to be a great quality. Buy these and support this growing company!

Awesome picks! Love the color of the red ones I purchased. They fit great and not all thin and flimsy.

Pour pallier à des ongles trop fragiles. Mais cela ne fonctionne pas. Et le son est trop métallique malgré que ce soit fait en plastique

Broke my thumb pick very easily when I was removing it. Must be a flaw in the material, that is why I could only rate it for 4 stars. Would like to receive a new thumb pick.

Son duras, aún no las he usado mucho, pero se ven resistentes. Son de tamaño medio. Mis dedos son delgados y me quedan un poquito sueltas pero sí sirven
