ProPik ProPik Super-Tone Thumbpick L

Context: I bought it for squareneck "dobro". I use ProPik finger picks and do find that they stay on better than alternatives. Up until now I've used Dunlop L thumb-pick and was just curious as to how much this, significantly more expensive thumb pick, can make a difference. Hmmm, not a lot is my answer.

+ It is very well made and I cannot see this breaking anytime soon!
! It is larger than Dunlop size L (so choose carefully).
! The blade is much shorter than that I am used to!

I do not mind wearing these up near the thumb knuckle but if you prefer the pick over the nail, this may not be for you. The blade may be to short and so the thumb-wrap will hit the string.

Tonally I can't say I notice any difference. Dunlops wear down over time and after changing strings there is often a "break-in" period as strings and pick get used to each other. Can't say if this changes with the ProPik but out of the packet I haven't noticed any kind of "wow!" effect.

So a lot of words for a thumb-pick but the price difference will be a barrier for many players. Yes, it is justified in the build quality ... but maybe not that much!
