I have been using Landis fingerpicks for more than 6 months and have found them to be very comfortable. The "death grip" feature really keeps the picks on without constantly readjusting. The sterling silver material produces a nice warm tone and the profile of the pick tang is very user f...

Re: Landis Picks

My pair just arrived today and I really really like them. The shape of the blade makes picking significantly more easy and accurate. Up until now i was using Hoffmeyer picks which were really nice but the Landis picks did not require any reshaping. Could not be happier with them. Thank you for the ...

Thank you, Gene! I'm glad they're working well for you and really appreciate the great review! Word of mouth advertising is the most trustworthy, and the only thing my advertising budget can afford lately, so a review like this is priceless to me. Making wide band picks are a bit tricky. It's very i...

Improved AccuPick & FREE Engraving through July

I carved a new die to produce these so they'd have a consistent thickness and eliminate a lot of trim work. I've also blunted the end of the band to make it a more comfortable fit. It's become my favorite thumb pick for steel and b@%&0 These Sterling Silver picks delver great tone and comfort. T...

I received my picks 2 days earlier than expected and I like everything about them, especially the tone. I never thought I would invest in silver but I'm glad I did.

Any reason that you don't ship to the UK? I don't think anything has changes since the last 2 sets of finger picks you shippeed to me with no problems?

If you HAD to market them, Ron... How much? Okay, your question caused me to rethink this. I just didn't think there would be much market, but I'm now so convinced about the tone, I think I'd be doing the music community an injustice by not making them available. I've always maintained that there i...

A noticeable improvement in clarity and warmth was heard by everyone in the room. Whether that will transfer through our less-than-optimal recording e...

Solid 22k gold picks.

NFS... Probably the world’s first and only set of solid gold fingerpicks. They were a special commission to match a 1927 Gibson Bella Voce Banjo. I had to test drive them and I can say they are slightly better than my sterling silver picks. Reduced pick noise and with more clarity. I probably won'...

I edited the first post and took out the sentence about longer blades. I designed them 1/16" longer, but for some reason, the digital art got scaled down slightly and the blades are not any longer than before. On another note, I'm also working on this new style of thumb pick. I have these few t...
