Used these for Ukulele/Guitalele
Cillian C 28.09.2019
Nice picks, well worth the money, feel good in the hand.
I tend to use less broad picks on guitar, these would have a different tone to say the V picks that I use on E guitar.

For nice clean and rich sounds on guitalele and acoustic guitar I'd definitely reccomend these.

Wouldn't reccomend them for shred playing on electric guitar, but they might work for that role!

Might also work nicely as bass picks (I haven't tried, I have metal picks for playing bass with a pick) but I don't know if they would be durable enough to survive prolonged use on the thicker strings (hopefully yes!)

These are not for you if you are left-handed.
Heist Of Words 09.12.2019
I don't know if any other reviews mention this because I foolishly did not read them, but there it is.
I didn't know and couldn't fathom that picks could be built to only suit people with a certain handedness. I was wrong! The groove on the back of these is meant to accommodate your index finger ON YOUR RIGHT HAND. It never crossed my mind to try to rotate the product picture in my head to see if it would cause issues.
They're weird to hold left-handed, unless you're okay with strumming with one of the rounded points. But they're very nice to the touch, and really comfy in my right hand. (I didn't play a lot with them, but they do seem very sturdy and make a nice sound) I just happen not to be ambidextrous, so I ended up giving them away to my right-handed friends.

love the looks and grip
georgaris 24.06.2021
Very nice grip!
I like the sound this pick produses with the heavier strings.
Αlthough i use hard picks ( 1mm ) i dont use them very often because they are really hard for struming, wood its hard....but even for their looks and the grip they worth buying.

I bought it for my Harley Benton DOTU UKE-S Native Skull
Kirill P. 03.06.2021
Comfortable and pleasant picks.
I use them on the ukulele, I also tried to play the bass guitar, the sound is pleasant, but I'm afraid with intense playing they can break with metal strings.
I bought it for myself and my son, both of them are happy.

Nice monster-picks !
Johnny Ska 21.02.2018
Really hard and strong picks, probably not suited for acoustic playing...

I bought them just for the fun of it, along with their "twins" Harley Benton PB1 Bone Picks, mostly out of curiosity, and tried them out on my acoustic guitar so far.

These particular ones are pretty beautiful and although a bit slippery, they have nice overall handling.
They produce a pretty strong and "plucky" sound on the strings, nice for experimenting a little bit but they are probably more suitable for basses and stronger strings in general!

You should try them out, however, no matter what instrument you are thinking of using them on!

- Sound is more muffled compared to nylon picks, but fine nontheless.
- The grip feels okay, but it does make pinch harmonics a lot more difficult.
- I cannot say anything yet about durability and quality, but I have to give stars so that's why they are on three stars each.

O
excelent grip and sound.
Ornithologist 19.08.2020
It is lighter than other materials I have tried (bone, horn, plastic). Also the wood makes it less slippery. I use it on an acoustic archtop in a swing band and the sound is perfect. The only downside is that my style of playing quickly starts tear the pick. It would be an ideal pick for me, if it lasted longer. Highly recommend.

Best pick I've used!
Gustav Friberg 05.12.2017
Comfortable, with a round and warm tone. The grooves make it all but impossible to drop, and it's GORGEOUS, I've used it for guitar, bass, and ukulele and it shines everywhere.

But the big pro is for practice. The grooves force me to use the correct technique, which I usually am lousy with.

Summary: Just buy them.

Classy
Moon K 06.06.2018
There is something classy using music gear that has been made from Ebony, it all starts with the black notes on the piano.
Well made and incredibly cheap for what they are buying a named (not mentioning any names) hand made plectrum (pick) can cost around £18.00 (¤20.00) each, these are of an equivalent grade and quality.
They are durable good grip and look the dogs doodaa.
