Very hard to access but probably worth 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.

Grinning OnThese Picks: 6 BoloPick Synthetic Felt Picks for Ukulele

Reviewed in the United States on 30 April 2016

Colour: original recipeVerified Purchase

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 as
you journey toward your ‘tone’ and playing style.

I purchased the BoloPick synthetic felt picks because they were advertised as being “softer and smaller than
typical felt picks”. I wanted a felt pick with more flex and thought this product could be the one. I was right on
picking 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 inch

My Other felt picks are the same exact-sized, are hard, and ‘Real-felt’ picks. But, they are really too stiff and
inflexible for my taste. So much so that if you attempt to bend them they will snap. An advantage to a hard
Real-felt pick is that it produces a softer sound than a plastic or nylon pick but you still get the quick attack of
a 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 felt
picks are great for single string picking, or leads, but it feels like there is a piece of metal between my fingers
when I play. They just don’t feel right in my hand. If they were smaller there might be a compromise there for
some lead playing.

The Bolo synthetic felt picks are the same exact thickness as my Other Stiff Real-felt picks. Difference is the
Bolos give nicely and feel good between my fingers when I strum. The grip is just as good as Other uke felt
picks but I still get the soft sound on those uke strings. The Bolo pick feels less cumbersome and much more
comfortable 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 say
they remind me of a medium gauge nylon pick, about 70mm thick. Enough give to allow a faster easier strum
and 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 far
as I can go with the hypothesis. Real felt is a combo of fabrics compressed together. The Other felt picks I own
are 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 go
for the stiff hard unyielding felt pick. It’s all personal. Just have fun doing it.

Awesome picks!!

These picks are great!! I just picked up playing the uke and strumming is a big struggle with my arthritis. I also play the guitar but this has never been a problem because I had a pick, but guitar picks make the ukulele sound harsh. These picks don't take away the gentle and pleasant sound of the uke, and they actually add to the clarity of the strumming patterns!! Arthritis or not these are a definite essential for a new player to have!!

Not impressed with how these feel

Reviewed in the United States on 17 October 2018

Colour: original recipeVerified Purchase

I keep my fingernails quite short, so when I first picked up the ukulele, I wanted to try some uke picks to see if that would help with tone. Using these felt picks helps me to project better than with my bare fingers. However, I feel that the picks are just too thick. They tend to get caught on strings, and to my ear they dig in TOO much, and can make the uke sound really forceful and unnatural. The worst part is that it is extremely difficult to hold on to these, so I feel like I have no control over my sound when the pick is sliding all over the place. I think the ideal uke pick would be a tad thinner, or at least less stiff, and would have some sort of grip on one end to be able to get a hold of it.
