Re: Picks
My personal pick journey paused around 25 years ago when I bought several Golden Gate picks. I've been playing on those exclusively ever since, until acquiring a new mando recently. I've always liked the tone from the GGs, but the rounded corners, for me, are limiting in other ways. I found the volume lacking. Recently I dug out an old triangle shaped pick with more pointed corners. It's larger than the GGs, is probably plastic, but looks like tortoise shell. And I immediately liked the 'feel' of it, and the extra punch. But still preferred the sound of the GG. After hearing all about the BCs, I decided to try one (CT-55). The BC is almost exactly the same size as the triangle pick I recently found. But with the beveled edge, and slightly thicker it has both the play-ability and the tone I have been looking for.
