Re: Wolle picks for clasical playing, help pls?
Yep, they're very popular among german classical players. To be honest, these picks are more common in this scene thanF5s among bluegrassers.
They are made from a quite soft injection moulded plastic and thus hve still sharp edges. Before using them, you have to sand the edges and bevel the tip.
The big thing about these picks (and the reason everyone here in Germany uses them) is, that they produce less pick click than any other pick. They provide a very clean and mellow tone. If this is what you want, try them - no BC, no Wegen and no Primetone can come close. (I can't say anything about others of these "more expensive" picks like Dawg picks...)
They are more durable than one would think considering the soft feel of the plastic, but they nedd to be replaced more often than Primetones or Wegens.
Hope this helps If not, feel free to ask.
