    Default Wolle Mandolin picks

    In my seemingly never-ending search for the best pick I'm keen to try out the Wolle pick - as used by Caterina Lichtenberg.

    The only place I can find them is via schneidermusik.de in Germany. Unfortunately their policy is not to ship to the UK unless you spend a minimum of 170 euros which would amount to rather more picks at 3.69 euros each than I need!

    Just wondering if there is anyone from our community based in Germany who would be willing to acquire a few of these picks and post them to me? Obviously I'd pay up front.

    Thanks in anticipation.

I don't know if it's anything to do with Brexit or maybe they just don't like Brits! I've sent them an email and will post again when/if I get a reply.

    Ordered them from here. The shipping was much less than what Schneider Musik charges:

    I guess there is a lot of paperwork involved when shipping to UK but they send to Gibraltar!!

    Many thanks to Brian560 for the Markstein link; order now placed.

    ... and reference Poul's post; Thomann had no problem posting some Thomastik strings to me from Germany this week so I don't know what Optima's issue might be.

    Anyway, thanks to everyone for your comment and help. Here's hoping the Wolle picks work out ok!

    Last time I sent a very low value item to the UK, I was nonetheless told to use a specific declaration form, that was more expensive than just a stamp on a letter.

    Damn Brexit. So many searches I make has hits in the UK.

    Damn Brexit indeed. Don't blame me - I voted to stay in.

    I think the customs authorities in both the UK and EU are so overwhelmed with large commercial operations that they're probably less interested in relatively low value items just popped in an envelope - at least for the time being.
