I took advantage of the current sale and ordered a couple of Tortis® picks from Red Bear Trading. I've been using them for a couple of weeks now and They are WONDERFUL!

I ordered the new model with three different shapes in a "heavy" weight (1.4mm?) and I just love them. They really play as well as natural tortoise shell. Much better control than with Fender heavies.

I'd been trying the Wegen Bluegrass picks (also heavy) but these Tortis® picks are far superior. If you do much flatpicking, you should really try one of these picks.
