I use the Alaska picks as I have very thin and brittle nails on my right hand. They take a little getting used to and, like any other finger pick, generally need a little "touching up". I put them on and then use a clippers and nail file to shape them just so. I then number them so they go on the same each time. The music store that purchase them from sells them in packages of 24 for about $20.00 US. The plastic quality has gotten better since I first started using them a few years back. They also make them in metal, which I have never tried. They come in various sizes (S, M, L, XL). I buy them one size small (L) so they fit tight. The only problem I have ever encountered is the occasional slipping when my hands are sweaty. But that is a rare occasion.

If you can't find them at your local retailer you can order them at www.elderly.com. by CLICKING HERE.

All the best,
