"We manufacture a pick that is super popular in TX. Obviously...people even wear them as pendants and earrings. Popular among our pickers/banjo players. THe one in the picture is the jazz, standard and Bass Delrin picks."
"Our Best Seller is the Standard Nylon Gripick. Bass Delrin 1mm is a close 2nd favorite of our customers!"
"NO, didnt know one existed! Thanks for the info...Merry Christmas! And I dont think felt would be great...seems like it would start to get strings of fuzzy felt on your strings!

Favorite Picks....
Just curious, what is your favorite pick to use? My family business is in the guitar pick business and I am bringing the awareness of our product to social media sites and forums. I have not heard of a comperable jazz/uklele pick. Any idea on who could be the best so I can check out our competitors? Thanks for your help.
