    I have a Tortis style C heavy pick with speed bevels. I really like the tone it produces, but I prefer the Wegen M150 that I have been playing for awhile. The first person to PM me with their address gets it.

    Hey I love my Toris Picks for strumming and chopping but when I pick breaks, melodies, slow solos (a lot of renaissance) I get an awful pick click. This is NOT the fingerboard extension click, it's pick on string click. Am I attacking at a bad angle or is this just the nature of a harder thicker pick? HELP

    I haven't tried them, but if slight position shifts don't stop the click, maybe they're not for you. I'd try changing pick "approach".

    to minimize pick cick, dull it down with sandpaper.

    Just received two mondo heavy rounded edge picks from Elderly. (I pretty sure I ordered shape E but mondo arrived)

    These are sweet picks; loud, smooth and warm. I also ordered some of the new Dawgs. (the shape is a bit different)

    I may be back in the Dawg House! These new ones have a very warm tone that I really prefer for picking around the house by myself.

    The Tortis though is much louder and brings out more highs and lows on the instrument then the Dawg. For a band situation and when I need to cut more it's the Tortis all the way. I'm hoping that they keep their smooth rounded edge longer then celluloid.

    If you like warm get a rounded edge.
