Metal thumb pick issue

From: Chris Amos

Has Jim Dunlop stopped making metal thumb picks? I have asked in many music shops in East London, Essex and north Kent, all had run out. I don't seem to be able to find anyone selling them on line. Can anyone help, I couldn't stand the thought of going back to plastic ones again.

I sincerely hope not - It was bad enough when they stopped the Phosphur Bronze sets and left just the Nickel Silver !

Look on Elderly Instruments site (they're in the US) or, preferably, Highly Strung (who are in the UK). Sorry, my IT expertise doesn't extend to making blickies, just search on the name.

Try Pete at pjmusic.co.uk. He lists metal fingerpicks under Accessories / Miscelaneous. He can normally get hold of anything if it's available and, when A.N.O & Co stopped importing Steve Knightly's favourite triangular flaticks, PJ started to import them himself!

Great guy and, no, it ain't me.
