Got mine! Thanks Andy! I didn't know Dunlop made chrome picks? These are chrome/with a rubbery covering over the part of pick that circles the finger, they will not slip off, These are a must for everyone that has picks slipping off problems like I had for over 20yrs! And Andy's price is so low, he must barely break even! Definately a labor of love! au

What are they coated with?

Sounds like a cool idea. I keep having to replace the nose pads on mine. Any pictures? I think I'd like a set.

I see that Elderly music sells these Nickel silver ones for .75 cents where others are asking 1.99 for two or as much as 2.49 each .. some people have no shame.
These little coated picks are really a bargain. I will order 3 sets as long as they are
.022 or .025. Sending you an email.

Scott, these are Dunlop 025, not sure what Andy coated them with b0b, but he done a great job.They stay on your fingers real good.
I got my set a couple days ago.

Now, I'll shut up and let Andy tell ya'll the details on the picks.

Gee! Thanks for your posts of support Al & Terry. Al; actually Dunlop calls the pics nickel-silver, Don't think they are real chrome.
bob; the coating is a rubberized plastic. It's not toxic & not sticky to the touch but they do stick to your fingers if they are bent to a comfortable, not tight, fit.
bob; in our emails you said you,d stay with your old nationals. Don't blame you, but I'd still like to send you a pair to try. If you don't like them, give them away or throw 'em away.
Again thanks everybody. Andy H.

upps; Sorry I didn't answer the question on pictures. Nope don'e have any & too compute- dumb to post any. I'll try to draw a vocal picture; They start out an ordinary .025 nickel silver Dunlop finger pick. I order them in lots of 140. They are cleaned with naptha, then dipped in the rubberized plastic solution, the excess shook off, dried 24 hrs, then redipped & dried again. just the pare that wrap the finger is coated. This batch is red, Look like the ones Chuck Bratain was making but different red material. Chuck quit or I never would have started this. I guess we can blame Mike Perlowin. He said in another post He'd like to have some. Sent him a pair to try. He ordered 10 sets. So here we are. Thank you all for your interest. Hope I can keep up with the orders. Andy H

I use 3 fingerpicks, Andy. I wouldn't have any use for a pair.

Andy Hinton · Post by **Andy Hinton** » 23 Oct 2008 3:24 pm

Hello Cass: Not at this time. The .025 seems to be the most popular gage & I jumped into this without too much thought. Bought 200 of these to see if they would work. What gage do you have in mind? Next time I order I'll get a veriety. Thanks for your interest.
Bob; you've got three on the way. I know a few other pickers that use three. Guess you guys got a broader mind than me. Ahdy H

Andy Hinton · Post by **Andy Hinton** » 24 Oct 2008 4:45 am

Cass; You got it. Thats a thin pick but everyone has a preferance. I have to order more now anyway so should have them by end of next week. Andy H.

Thanks Donnie

Andy Hinton · Post by **Andy Hinton** » 27 Oct 2008 6:26 pm

Hello Fellow Steelers:
Sorry I didn't see these last responses yesterday. Took the wife out to dinner & got in late.
Al; I was going to email you the price for 3 picks & how to pay for them but anyone 12 yrs.older than me & still picking a steel deserves free picks. They are on the way.
Allen; I take paypal, checks or postal moneyorder. 10 prs. plus S&H comes to $52.00 If paying by paypal please add 1 more dollar.
Donnie; I haven't recieved an email or snail-mail with your order & return address yet. Can't ship COD, checked with postoffice today. It would cost more than the picks just for delivery & collection chgs. Hope I haven't missed anyone. If Idid please send me an email. Terry; thanks for posting the pics. Andy H.
