I’m new to the forum and the instrument as well. In the short time since I acquired my instrument I’ve been trying to find left hand thumb picks. There seems to not be a real wide selection, at least not that I’ve found. The range seems to be one brand that are very inexpensive, ok, cheap and the other end seems ridiculously high.
I can sense the southpaw jokes & wise cracks coming so give er your best, I’m 62 and thick skinned, I can take it. But if you have verifiable knowledge of a source with a decent selection, I’d appreciate knowing about it. Thanks !
Amazon has them in abundance and very inexpensive.

Elderly.com has a few choices. Deering has Propiks. Fred Kelly picks are inexpensive, but not "cheap".
Thank you I’ll check that out.
Thanks Sherry, I went to Amazon before posting here and found left handed sets which I don’t really need, just the thumb pick. I have a couple Dunlops which are fine for now. I don’t mind paying a premium for good picks, I was just wondering if there’s a source with a larger selection than what I’ve found so far.
Quite a few of us southpaws here.
I found the Dunlops very uncomfortable, like the circulation was being cut off after a length of time. I got a ProPik and found that much better.
Earl Scruggs suggested holding the plastic thumb pick over the spout of a steaming tea kettle to reshape it. Requires two pairs of small pliers.
