If you are looking for a pick to take the place of Tortoise shell picks here is your solution.

Me and all of my customers and friends can not tell the difference between the real tortoise shell and these.

Try one for yourself and see.

Due to high popularity of this item it is hard to keep all Styles in stock at all times.

How They Are Made

laser cut/engraved to produce the picks once the slab of material is sanded to thickness. A variety of sanders, abrasive sticks (fingernail files) and buffers are used to produce the final product.

Some folks are "pickier" than others when it comes to the edges of their picks.

Picks are shipped with either a rounded edge or a sharply beveled edge depending on the style. If you prefer a rounded edge to a pick that is made with a sharp bevel, it is easy to modify. The picks sand easily so you can sand them to your own preferred shape or edge contour using 320 grit paper or emory board. A thicker pick with a sharper bevel will result in a brighter tone and more pick control and will allow more speed than a thin pick. If you need to restore the glossy finish to your New Tortis pick, use a buffer with brown tripoli compound. When I make them, after the tripoli, I touch them on a wheel with some super-fine yellow compound which is used mainly for plastics. This gives them a "wet" look. If you don't have access to a buffer, a jeweler can buff them for you.

While these picks do indeed sand easily, they exhibit virtually no wear at all - even after several months of daily use (in most cases).
