D'Addario Accessories Thumb Picks, Large, 5 Pack

Good pick, works as advertised.

There is no way 3 sizes will fit everyone as they come from the factory. The good news is that they are adjustable. The large barely fit on the end of my thumb and would hurt if I forced it on. I steamed some water in the microwave and put the thumb pick in for a two minutes. Now it's pliable. I stretched it over the body of a Sharpie marker and a couple hours later it fit much better. Maybe too big. I messed with them over the next couple days and now I have 5 custom-fit thumb picks that fit perfectly.

These are quality picks and sound great but as other reviewers have noted, these run very small. I bought the Large size and found it to be tighter than the Medium size of some other brands. I have pretty small hands for a guy and these are still quite tight. Will be trying the boiling water trick to see if I can open them up a bit.

these classic celluloid picks fit my thumb without pinching or slipping off. I’m super happy with them.

The large thumb pick is on the small side making a little painful when using.

I agree with several other reviewers that the medium size of these thumbs picks are pretty darn snug, to outright pinching tight. However, anything formed out of acetate, like the temple arms of many sunglasses for example, will in time start to warp away from the pressure applied to it. So sunglasses become lose and slip down your nose. Same idea with thumb picks. Although very snug at first the pick will loosen up. In the meantime, using a trick well known to sunglasses owners, you can use a hair drier to heat the acetate up and then expand the curl a bit to make it more comfortable. But, just like with sunglasses, you don't want the glasses sliding off your nose and you don't want your thumb pick so loose to works its way off your thumb.

They work.

This is exactly what I needed and far superior to the basic thumb pick. It’s well made and works as promised. I’m primarily a finger style player so I don’t flat pick often but I do like to use a flat pick approach for strumming and fast mandolin style Tremolo. Other thumb picks catch on the strings and get loose or pinch and are basically useless for flat picking. If you’re a straight flat picker with only occasional need for finger style this pick might not be worth the adjustment but if you’re 50/50 or more this is the ticket. For me this product is a game changer and I’ll be ordering more.
