Accessories Finger Picks, Medium, 5 Pack

Theses worked really great. Things to know if you never used them. Yes, they are all small. You have to shape them. 1st add a 1/2 in of water to small pot. These picks have a little bit of plastic tag holding them closed. Use a knife and gentle separate the tag. Boil water and stand the picks up so you can grip the tips. 1 or 2 at a time. Once water boils turn off. After a few seconds remove pick and wrap around finger. Hold to cool. Repeat for each one' on all Fingers. Remember all the fingers are not the same. You might want to mark each one on the inside for each finger with a marker. The several complaints about being too small are just because it's the 1st time using them and don't know how to fit them. Hope this helps. Been using them ever since I seen John Denver in the 70's. Enjoy your custom fitted finger picks.

D’Addario makes great products. These are no exception. They fit very tightly out of the packaging, but you need to size them for your own fingers. To do so simply bring enough water in a pot to a boil to cover the finger ring portion of the pics. You don’t want to heat the plectrum part. Once the water is boiling, set it to the side and standup each pick in the water with the plectrum sticking up in the ring submerged. Allow the material to heat and then take them out and shape them to fit your finger comfortably. I said a coffee mug with ice water to the side so that when I’m happy with my sizing, I merely dip the fingers into the ice water to cool the material. These are a good value for money and are durable. They will last you quite a while unless you abuse them. Being finger pics, there is no grip to speak of.

Like these, but think I'm gonna need some small ones. These aren't snug enough on my girl fingers. Tend to pull away.

I ordered size "Medium" but these picks are so small they can't possibly fit a normal sized hand. I would call these extra small. It would be better for the company to specify a finger diameter or width so customers can measure and buy the correct size. The quality looks fine. They seem like the would be as durable as celluloid flat picks. But the size description is completely inadequate.

I had been using brass finger picks with a plastic Dunlop thumb pick for a few years and I noticed a difference in the sounds between the two. I wanted to see if I could get away from that metal-on-metal twang that I got from the finger picks, so I switched to flat-wound strings and these plastic finger picks. I know people have complained that they're tight, but, frankly, I know I have medium hands, and the medium picks fit just fine. Yes, they're tight, but they're very flexible, and they do need to be tight to get good control and sound from them. I'm quite happy with the fit. The transition to plastic from metal felt a little awkward for a couple of days, like breaking in a new pair of shoes, but I got used to it. The sound quality is more like that of a plastic pick, now. I may still reserve the metal picks for country/bluegrass styles, though, but for most styles I'll probably use these.

Disappointed that no thumb picks were included. Thumb picks are mentioned multiple times on the page, so was not expecting only finger picks. Finger picks seem too flexible on the autoharp. Got caught between strings. Should have purchased Dunlop.

I have relatively small female hands and these were ill fitting. Too big on some too small and painful on others.

I have a fairly large hand for a woman and these fit snugly (securely) and are not uncomfortable. Just remember they do not go on top of your nails but on top of your finger pads. The feel sturdy and flexed without fear of breaking. Great value.
