Thanks for these Jake I watched them all.
I’ve always been interested in what real tortoise shell sounds like and how much work you have to put into maintaining these picks.
I got some “natural” material picks a couple of years ago - different types of bone and horn. I don’t think I appreciated them fully - but can seen how they do give a more balanced tone. I’ve not used them much.
In reality I tend to pick up the last one I played and keep them in a small bowl or woven in my strings - I’ve added in a couple of the buffalo horn ones to bowl to experiment with them more.
If you ever get the opportunity it would nice to see some lessons from you.
Maybe they’re on the site already but I haven’t found them.
Thanks!
