The Bill Stokes Showcase Torti-Pick flatpicks are the closest thing to real tortoise-shell that can be found in a completely natural material.
Crafted from natural buffalo horn , the Torti-Pick precisely duplicates the incredible tone of real tortoise, but doesn’t chip like tortoise can. Plus, it lasts much longer…all at a fraction of the cost of tortoise.
Bill Stokes personally hand crafts each pick to a fine finish with perfectly rounded and beveled edges creating a smooth, fluid feel when picking.
The Torti-Pick flatpicks are available in 3 popular shapes: Triangle, Teardrop and Mando. The standard rounded edges can easily be modified for individual tastes with the Pick Shoppe "Pick Toolkit"which is available in the Pick Accessories section of this store. This kit contains all the tools required for pick maintenance, including the Bill Stokes Showcase Pick Strop for final finishing.
These picks are 1.2mm to 1.5mm in thickness.
