BoloPick Felt Pick for Ukulele 6 Pack Multi Color

Actually you should try it with hand slowly you will get used to it

These are accessed from the USA and take forever to arrive. Also, although the lot is nice and colorful, one would wish for a different gauges, similar to guitar picks.

I find them to soft and flexy.

Great little picks, very pleased with the performance of the picks, my ukulele has a mellowed sound when using the Bolopicks.I will be buying more in the near future .

Musicians can be particular about certain aspects of their tools. Strings, necks, instrument bodies, woods, etc.Picks are up there with the rest. Good thing about picks, they‘re relatively inexpensive to experiment with asyou journey toward your ‘tone’ and playing style.I purchased the BoloPick synthetic felt picks because they were advertised as being “softer and smaller thantypical felt picks”. I wanted a felt pick with more flex and thought this product could be the one. I was right onpicking the Bolos, but first some rudimentary dimensions.-- BoloPick Synthetic Felt Pick Stats --------------------------------------~ Width: 1-1/8 inch~ Length: 1-1/4 inch~ Thickness: 1/8 inchMy Other felt picks are the same exact-sized, are hard, and ‘Real-felt’ picks. But, they are really too stiff andinflexible for my taste. So much so that if you attempt to bend them they will snap. An advantage to a hardReal-felt pick is that it produces a softer sound than a plastic or nylon pick but you still get the quick attack ofa hard pick. So that’s good, right? Yeah, depends on what your style of playing.The Others being as big as they are and so stiff there is little play when strumming the uke. The hard stiff feltpicks are great for single string picking, or leads, but it feels like there is a piece of metal between my fingerswhen I play. They just don’t feel right in my hand. If they were smaller there might be a compromise there forsome lead playing.The Bolo synthetic felt picks are the same exact thickness as my Other Stiff Real-felt picks. Difference is theBolos give nicely and feel good between my fingers when I strum. The grip is just as good as Other uke feltpicks but I still get the soft sound on those uke strings. The Bolo pick feels less cumbersome and much morecomfortable than the Other Real-felt pick.So if you are used to having a little give, or bend, in your picks the Bolo picks are the ones for you. I would saythey remind me of a medium gauge nylon pick, about 70mm thick. Enough give to allow a faster easier strumand stiff enough to allow some picking and grinning.When Bolo says they are 'synthetic' I don’t know exactly what that means. Just that they are not real felt, as faras I can go with the hypothesis. Real felt is a combo of fabrics compressed together. The Other felt picks I ownare made of cotton and wool and are stiff as a board. So I am okay going non-organic with the ‘synthetic felt’pick because they are what works well for me.5 Stars for my find of the month due to its nice response, great feel between the fingers and a softer uke sound.The Others are just not my style but if you want a slightly louder sound and be able to pick the strings then gofor the stiff hard unyielding felt pick. It’s all personal. Just have fun doing it.

These are not as thick as most felt picks. They are more traditionally sized, and great for playing acoustic guitar.
