Here is my new, custom made pick. It was designed in close association with some of the best players of the vibrant, burgeoning and non-existant Portuguese gypsy jazz scene in Leiria. Specifically, myself.
It´s made from an exciting and patented new material, wood. This is a proprietary and promising composite material developed with the help of the maconde tribe in northern Mozambique, rightly famous for its cutting edge technology. Its production was accomplished using state of the art technology: scrapers and sandpaper. Pre-orders are available, the price will be well above any reasonable expectation.
Ok, so i´ve lost my wegen and did this in an hurry from a scrap piece of african blackwood i had lying around. a 10 mins job, tops. Funny thing is i really like how it feels in my hand - it has nice feedback, seems to work well for rytthm. 5 mm thick. Unfortunately, while drilling the hole i bruised my left index finger, so no proper playing time for me in the near future.
cheers,
Miguel.
