Does anyone other than me like Sammy Shelor picks? I've been using them for about 4 years now and I love them. They are the most comfortable pick that I have used, although they do effect the tone a little.

I think a bunch of folks here do. I love mine. The bands are hardly cinched down on them at all, but they hug my fingertips like nobody's business.

I've been using mine for more years than i can remember. They suit my style and never seem to wear. I hope i never loose them!

Cheers,

I tried out a pair of Sammy's picks from one of my students and I was hooked on them! I bought 2 pairs but have since lost one set, at home somewhere, hope they turn up one day. These picks are fantastic as 1 they never wear out and 2 they seem to glide over the strings. Fantastic thanks Sammy for coming up with the idea, although it makes me skint! (broke for those who don't know UK slang).

I have two sets and have been using them for quite a while now. The fit my fingers well without adjustument, they stay on without pinching them down so tight that circulation is cut off, they seem to wear well, and sound great.

I had two pair, but I only have one and a half now. I need to find someone that plays two finger style, and put him or her in business. I was stupid enough to put them in my pocket and when I got my keys out I evidently pulled the pick out with it and lost it.

A pair each for my other two banjos and a pair for my dobro. Maybe I can get a pair from each of my three kids for Christmas.

Randall is my Uncle, and He gave me a set of these picks and wanted me to try them out and see what I think. WOW! the way they felt, I have more control, and I feel more confident with my banjo. Mainly because the way they hug my fingers, I am not worried about them flying off. And Second, to me you get a more cleaner sound with these picks than with any other pick on the market today.

I've used them for several years and love them. They're much more comfortable than anything else I ever tried, and I tried a lot of different ones.

I've been using the same set since November 2003.

I've tried most of the recommended picks out there in the last year. I have settled on the Shelors and a large Blue Chip thumb pick. The NP2's are a close second for me.
