The Wedgie rubber picks are not for everyone. They feel bulky in your hand, much more like an old plectrum than a modern pick. That being said, they help to produce a beautiful soft mellow sound. There is almost no string click with these picks. They would be great for jazz players, or that soft folk sound. I purchased them as a gift to a mandola player. She loves them. They would not be the pick of choice for a screaming fast Stanley number, but they are perfect for strumming Hard Times Will Come Again No More.
