Cobalt Nick Picks

Cobalt coated special designed custom picks for Ross Nickerson specially made for solid tone, comfort, and speed. Available only at BanjoTeacher.com Bob Perry custom made these picks for me in 2003 by my specifications. They fit back further on your finger like I requested for more comfort and power. The no hole design avoids those finger through the hole sores and more importantly gives the pick more mass for a thicker, fatter tone. These picks sound great, they're comfortable and the cobalt coating does what it says it does. The coating cuts string noise to nil and the picks glide over the strings. Bob also roughens up the inside of the pick so it grips better. I've been playing a long time, these picks are a break through. Read Reviews One Pair 24.95 Money Back Guarantee!

When pickers take exception to spending more than a couple of bucks for picks I have a hard time understanding that. Where does the tone start??? How can someone invest so much time, money, practice and set-up work on their banjo without listening to the tone of different picks, and going for the best. Thick full tone, no string scratch, a better grip, how comfortable the pick feels on your finger, how the pick responds, these are all important factors! They certainly are to me. These picks work great!

...... I really like the way they set further back on the finger. I take lessons on Friday and after my instructor heard me play with the new "Nick Picks",,, he told me to throw my old picks (Dunlop) away. ha

...... Oh man, when they arrived and I slipped them on, they were as snug as a bug on a rug. I thought I died and went to heaven. I could hardly tell I had them on. They were everything, and a little more, then you said. Just as a beginner, the comfort alone made them worth every penny.
Happy picking, Tim Dellinger

....Hi Nick got my nick picks today what a difference, better tone and solid feel, comfortable well worth the bucks a sound investment to any banjo player and they stay on when you pick harder.your albums are awesome thanks for all the good stuff i bought from you pal Ray.

.....Hi Nick, this is another order for 2 more sets of your Kick Ass picks.. I am impressed with their tone and the increased finger dexterity I have using your picks. I am going to place one set with each of my 4 banjos

........Just wanted to let you know that I got my new Nick Picks. Thanks for carrying such a nice product.......Tried your nic picks from a guy I was teaching banjo today.

....Hey Ross, I got my order two days ago and I am amazed a the difference that the Nick Picks are making in my playing. I have had my banjo for about a month now and had been using the basic Dunlop finger picks from the  local guitar store. Yours are so much more comfortable and the thicker metal gives a much more positive feel; fast and smooth (unlike my playing). Thanks for creating such a great product, it is a real help for a beginner like me. .

.......The picks and pick pocket have just arrived, nice and comfortable and my tone has improved

......Hi Ross, I got the new ones. I love 'em!

.....They are comfy, secure, and solid -- Thanks

.....I received my new finger and thumb picks today and, WOW, what a difference they make in my playing. The tone is incredible, and I have increased my playing speed dramatically! I started learning the banjo 2 years ago at 66; now at 68 my old fingers don't move as fast any more. But, the new picks have really helped.

Hi Ross! Hope all is well with you. Just wanted to let you know how grateful I am to you for getting me those wonderful fingerpicks!! I went to a 4 hour bluegrass jam last night and didn’t have to remove them once!! Anne Christenson, Sweden

.....Hello Ross: Got the Nick Picks yesterday and they work like MAGIC. You would sell them by the truck load if people only knew of them and tried them. They give such a clear crisp sound with so little effort that it really helps with my finger control.  Regards...Floyd

..........Thank you for sending me the two Nick Picks you kindly offered to help me overcome a problem, I am still experimenting but so far they've enabled me to practice with more comfort and clearer tone than I have managed previously. Your help and kindness is appreciated and has reinforced my respect for you and the care you show your customers. Thanks again.

........Just got my Nick Picks and I must say they are a lot more comfortable to wear and the tone is great! I like how you have only one of the Nick Picks marked with an "N" I always have to try on my picks to find the right one for each finger that I sized Now I know that the one marked "N" is my middle finger pick!

........I think that they were definitely worth the price. My fingers are small and so I had to squeeze the picks down to size for a good fit, but after that I find them to be greatly beneficial to my picking enjoyment. Great product!
