Jim Dunlop Nickel Silver Fingerpicks .018 IN - 5 Pack

I love the tone it brings out on my banjo. I prefer these Nickel picks over the plastic ones, they are thinner, easier to pick with and they sound more authentic. they fit nicely, may just need slightly bent to adjust to your finger. I feel They are worth the price

These picks are the best fingerpicks ever. I made the mistake of buying cheaper ones and they honestly felt like sandpaper scraping the strings. It was like fingernails on a chalkboard. These Dunlop pick are a pleasure to play with. Fit my fingers right out of the package, no need to reform them. Feel smooth while picking. I use them for banjo as well as lap steel.

These are great all-arounders. I use em mostly for lap and pedal steel. Also great for banjo. When adjusted properly, they grip to your finger well and, of course, sound amazing. That said, they are NOT comfortable out of the box. I don't mean sizing it, etc. (We all have to do a certain amount of adjustment for individual finger diameters and in some cases even custom shaping the plecktrum part of the fingerpick, particularly when playing steel.) No. What I'm talking about is the factory shape of the band is strangely over-bent diagonally across the largest circular holes, closest to where the band is open. (So the largest hole on either side of the opening of the band is where the problem is.) This causes the inner part of each one of these holes to have an edge that juts out (or rather inward) and cuts into your finger, right around the base of your fingernail, especially during long sessions. (OUCH!) I've been using this brand for a long time and never had this issue out of the box. So something has changed with their manufacturing process...or possibly I got an outlier. It's fixable with a good set of needle-nose pliers. But a bit of a pain in the ass. If not for this little defect, I would've given 5 stars. It's a minor annoyance, but not one you wanna mess with on a brand new set. You just wanna pull em out, adjust the band size and possibly taper, and then use em...Not have to rummage around in the shed looking for a pair of needle nose to deal with that weird, oddly placed angular over-bend. Other than that, they are great.

work fine

Well, what can you say about Dunlop picks? They are the gold standard of finger picks and have been for goodness knows how long. I play guitar and banjo, but I bought these for banjo, not guitar. On the guitar I use only a thumb pick, but for banjo I use a thumb and two finger picks. Since there are four finger picks in this pack, it leaves me with two spares. I didn't really need the thumb pick, because I prefer plastic for the thumb, but I couldn't find a set at a good price that didn't include a thumb, and anyway it's good as a backup and even for the occasional use on some songs. If you are a beginner and/or not sure what gauge to buy, I recommend the .018" (the thumb in this pack is .025"), because .018" covers most needs and styles for banjo. When you have more experience you might prefer a different gauge, but the .018" will be a good start. These are excellent picks at a very good price point, and I highly recommend them for beginners and experts alike.

I don’t have much experience with these pics. I bought them for my zither. Fit good and are comfortable.

I haven't used these in the past so I'm having a time learning, but they fit extremely well. The thumb pick fits much better than plastic ones I've used. It's a learning process but so far I'm happy with the product.

I feel I should like these better than I do. They’re supposed to be really good. But I’m having a hard time keeping them in position, even after multiple attempts at adjusting them I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just me—I’m just learning finger picking—but that is what is keeping me from rating them more highly.

Nicht so schön klingend wie mit einem Dunlop Plektrum, aber beim Saitenspiel unverzichtbar. Die Spitzen sind, was hier nicht klar gezeigt wird, sind nochmal abgerundet, dass die Saiten damit sehr geschont werden. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Ça fait un bruit metalique à chaque contact. C'est dommage. J'ai essayé différentes positions et rien ne résout le problème.

Ottimi fingerpicks: visto che sono mancino, per il pollice ne utilizzo uno specifico in plastica. Uso i fingerpicks su indice e medio per il mio dobro, e sono perfetti, molto comodi e adattabili alle mie dita, e con un'ottima sonorità.

Un peu compliqué quand on n’a pas l’habitude Honnêtement du bon matos
