The Traveling Pick Sampler - Anyone Interested?

[Mateus]

Just a update I've been really busy but i finally shipped the picks today it is up to 36 picks growing nicely it is off to Canada

I'll let you all know when I get them :D

I would love to try out the sampler, but I'm afraid I don't have anything of value to add... I've only got a pack of dunlop primetones but it looks like there's already 1 or 2 in there... I do have the "pick-a-palooza" pick punch and can add a couple of those in there, but they're not anything to write home about... Who do I PM to be put on the list?

[Timbofood]

I believe the way it's been working, your name has just been put in the hat. I wouldn't worry too much about adding if you don't have something, when this thing started there wasn't a suitcase full. The cool thing Caleb started has grown far bigger than I ever thought it would. Strong work everyone! I kind of want back on but, I won't have time to do much of anything with a bucket of picks for a while.
Great idea Caleb!

[soliver]

Ok, great! well whoever gets the suitcase before me just shoot me a PM and I'll send my address

[Timbofood]

That's pretty much how it's worked since the beginning! Have a great time Spencer.

Our Mandoliner's Dinners start after the first of the year so I'm not sure what the dishes will be. The host decides the meal and also the evening's playing activities/lesson. We have a Celtic mandolinist, a bluegrass one, an old-timey one, and a player from Cirque Du Soliel so it should be a heaping help of good fun!

If the pick list works the way you said, hopefully my last post added me to the list. If not, please add me. Thanks and Happy Holidays to all my mando brothers and sisters!

[Timbofood]

Fill me in on the feast when you've indulged! I'm always interested in what people make for "picking nights" I try to shy away from Cheetos but, pretty much anything else goes!

[Mateus]

Just wanted to let you all know that the sampler made it to canada safe and sound. Enjoy your christmases! Ill let you all know when it leaves during the holidays!

[Zach Wilson]

Can I be on the list? Thanks

[Gandalfa]

I would like to be added. I wasn't logged in and missed my first chance. I'll stay logged in now.

[Mateus]

Hey guys! About 2/3rds done with these and i need your help. I fell in love with a nameless pick. Could you help me identify it?

[mikeyes]

Hate to be the wet blanket here. but a Pick Tour was done on the Cafe a whole bunch of years ago. It made the rounds of quite a few people, and then just mysteriously (?) vanished. Never to be seen again. Somebody, somewhere, has them.... If you're reading this and you have them, please send them back to Pete Whatshisname, who was in charge of the Tour. LOL (Anybody else remember that?)

I lost a lot of nice picks on that tour. Somewhere, someone has a great collection.

Looks like they tried to get it going again but didn't, looks like they had a good selection
Wish we could combine them

That looks like the pick I donated. It's a buffalo horn pick I bought from someone in the Cafe Classifieds. I believe his name is John Hammonds. I'll check to make sure I didn't get that wrong. He says he hand makes them. The pick has some real nice qualities and I really liked it at first, but I soon found the scratchy sound on the higher strings to be annoying. I bought mine for $5 but soon after I bought it he posted another ad for the same picks only this time they were $8. Still not a bad price if you love the pick.

I received the picks today. Whoever decided on using the case and the box for shipping is brilliant! I'm glad to see so many in the case that has the same size/shape as the included CT-55 as thats my favorite shape for a pick.

I messaged Coffee guy a few days ago inquiring about an address so if I don't hear back from him in the week or so it takes me to play these picks, I'll be contacting Markscarts.

Edit: Reviewing Coffey guys' profile, he hasn't logged in since October 19th.

Yep we're still at it! That's cool you'll be around this summer we'll have to get some picking' on!

Ran thru all of the picks last night and so far the only one (other than the Bluechips, which I currently use) is the Black Wegen pick that's in there.

Still have to get out the mandolin-banjo and tenor banjo over the weekend and try some of the picks out.

Learning from the experience of others! Glad this started Caleb! Looks like people are having fun with it.
