I went to Dusty strings, my local shop which as of last week, doesn't require appointments in advance and saw a display of Wegens and wondered what happened to my Big City and Bluegrass picks from 15 years ago, so got some new ones and splurged on a Trimus, which at $22 is in the price bracket of Gravity golds or Apollo thermoplastics, to drop some names. Great pick of course. The Big city is too small for mandolin, I think but Goldilocks says the Bluegrass model at $4 is just right
