New Wegen Picks!

MichaelHorowitzMichaelHorowitz SeattleAdministrator
A load of cool new Wegen picks just came in.

The most interesting is the Button pick. When I was studying with the Gypsies I noticed that most of them , especially the rhythm players, preferred picks with extreme wear. To the extent that there the point of the pick was reduced to a diagonal slope. This is especially true of rhythm players.

I've seen a drawing of one of Django's picks which also had the same wear. For that reason I asked Michel Wegen to make some "pre-worn" picks. Well, he's finally done it! I think the new Button pick will be a big hit!

Also, see the new Dipper Picks, Trimus 425 and the Yeux Noir 2.5 (Dark Eyes).

    Is this a different 'Button' than was available before? I've got a couple that seem great for rhythm, but they feel just a bit small for my hands (not a whole lot to grab onto, and no thumb depression). Here's an old post about mine: http://www.hotclub.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1720

    Same thing, or not quite?
    Thanks,
    Jack.

    Yes, it's the same. They've had them in Europe a little longer then here.

    What's the Dipper pick like? I can't see it too well from the photos.

    Reject the null hypothesis.

    The Dipper's are a more rounded, hole less version of the TF series. They're in the smaller sizes 1.0mm to 1.8mm. For heaveir Triangular picks the Trimus is the way to go.

    Looks like I'll have to take out another loan. :shock:
