Finger Picks

Post by Jim Saunders »

I just got a pair of Acri picks that are really comfortable. I have no interest in this product, but you might find that you like them too. The sight shows that they are now sold out, but there will be more coming.

I just checked Google and Elderly Instruments also sells them, but they are out of the large, but have mediums.

I'll have to try those, I've pieked them up they're really heavy. Also come in brass. My local acoustic instrument store Dusty Strings (a few dobros, not a lot of steel guitar stuff) sells them, along with a good selection of finger/thumbpicks and flatpicks

I bought a pair a little over a year ago. So far they have ended my search for fingerpicks. They took a little getting used to, being so massive, but now it’s those little nationals that feel weird. Mine required very little shaping, they fit and stay snug, and there are no issues with bands getting caught on strings. I think I got them at Elderly.

Acri Picks

Post by Flip Brown »

Got a set from Elderly, and they've now replaced my ProPiks. Love the fit and feel, especially the thumb pick. Highly recommended.

Thank you all for sharing your positive experiences. I ordered two pairs, one for each bar pouch.
