And on these bad boys you use the leather heel of a shoe. No kidding! http://www.barynya.com/bass_balalaika.stm


Holy Buckets!!!! I wonder if they have special vans to transport those from place to place!!! That is One BIG Instrument!!! The smaller ones make a wonderful sound, kind of like Russian HillBilly!!! (I was going to say Russian Red-Neck, but I would not want to offend our Russian friends)

Thank You Canterbury Strings!!

Hi Nancy, here we have some shining examples ofthe tremendous pick world:

Stainless steel pick with Robert Crumb graphics

 

Graphite picks

P

Picks made of a real 45 (Suite Judy BLue Eyes)

Ovation brass pick (only to play on sundays)

Real abalone picks, high fidelity sound!

Recycled coins, good overtones, but not on acoustic guitar.

6mm acryl, the best for the slow blues solo!

Real wooden picks. Best results when you choose the same wood as the body. But also suitable on Ovations! See the one with the bone tip, this is the best for nylonstrings.

Leather picks. I use them for bass.

Engraved stone pick. Smooth sound, but one wrong move and there´s a hole in the spruce top.

Never stop making new experiences, picks and slides and capos and...

That´s it for today!

Beal - 2016-01-14 2:44 AM Oh them........ Back in the 80s there was the MIND pick,
Was trying to remember that, had one of those but I lost it. Did impart quite a different tone to the plucking, used it especially for the intro to Joan Armatrading's I'm Lucky.
