WOW! You are reeeal fast! Thanks so much for taking such good care of my order... so far, I am very impressed with you guys at BanjoTeacher!

Thanks for the internet, and your wonderful, straightforward site.. your 1st mailing, telling me package was on the way came to me less than 2 hrs after my initial order... find another company with that kind of personal customer service! You seem to embody the essence of downhome personal service, and I for one am VERY impressed! Thanks again, Your new customer and friend, Frank

Cobalt Nick Picks at Banjo Teacher.com
|
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 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.
Note: The cobalt coating does wear off eventually depending on the amount of use. Nick Picks can be recoated for 4.00 by sending them to Bob Perry, the manufacturer. His contact information is on the pick box. The Picks still sound and play good even if the coating has worn off too.The picks have money back satisfaction guarantee too. If you don't like just send them back for a full refund. No questions asked. ...... 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

Nasa has been using it for years in high-tech machinery, where expense was no object.
Used on metals to reduce friction and wear longer. End Result Picks do not drag or squeak on the strings!
Less drag means faster playing & cleaner sounding! Virtually wear resistant and they really do make a difference .A set of Dunlop .025's with the Cobalt coating, coated by Bob Perry himself for 7.45
