Love the input. As a inventor of thumb and finger picks I have been watching this conversation for 10 years when there is a simple solution. Picks that are adjustable and DO NOT stay on by clamping on your cuticles. The solution is 2,000 years old just look at your left hand, does your wedding ring ...

Jeff I am a banjo player of 35 years and I decided to create picks that stayed in place and did not hurt. Why, after 50 years, had no one looked at the fingers and thumb and addressed the problem? I hold 3 US Patents for picks. First a picks work fine when you put them on with your fingers straight,...

Saddle picks are as comfortable as the wedding ring on your left hand and you don't even know you have your wedding rings on.

Drew, I have invented a finger pick that according to the US Patent office is the largest improvement to finger picks in 50 years.

Tony If you have a set of SADDLE picks why don"t you try to stamp the small "V" in the base of the pick as I suggested above and see if they sound like the .25 gauge. Metal can be made stiffer by forming as well as by making it thicker. In answer to my question above, is because you l...

David Sound like you are like a lot of players that struggle with finger picks I did also so I invented the new SADDLE finger picks . Most of us wear a wedding ring and never know we have it on even sleep with it on. What about a finger pick that work just like your wedding ring. That is it is loose...

Carlos These are .20 gauge nickel/silver. I know steal players like a heaver pick, but I have never understood if they like .25 gauge because they are heaver or if it is because of the thicker material makes it stiffer. If is because of the stiffer material you can make thin metal stiffer by forming...

To increase the axial retention on the SADDLE finger picks we now include a "W" shaped crimp in the bottom of the retainer ring. This further increases the resistance for the picks to come off while playing. If you own a set of SADDLE picks you can form this "W" crimp with a pare...

Just as Ronnie said , you can take a SADDLE pick that you like and super glue or even use a small "SMALL" screw and attach any length or size pick to the bottom. I have even added metal to the pick.

The cost of making my picks require two sets of dies at a cost of $950 each The metal in the 20 gauge nickel/silver cost $0.94 and at present I hand form them. Patent protection $19,549, Packaging around 0.36,web site fees, purchasing process fees, all add up. I will never get my money back even at ...

Thank you for all your comments. This is why I invented this new finger pick, because it does not work the same way all other conventional picks work. Thy stay on by clamping on your finger.

I am sure it is a habit but the new SADDLE finger picks stay on your finger and in place due to the ring at the rear that works just like the ring on your finger.

Hal, I feel your pain but I did something about it and designed a pick that does NOT clamp on your finger. You do shape it to size, like you size your ring on your finger, and this pick works like a ring to hold it from slipping off the same way your wedding ring won't come off. The problem that cau...

Tony As a inventor of thumb picks I hear this problem all the time. It may not be that your thumb is too small. If that is the problem My SADDLE pick on the market today will solve that problem. However about 10% of thumbs won't hold a thumb pick because the taper on the thumb sides is greater than ...
