The Gypsy-Jazz Pick
 Gypsy-Jazz Pick

Finding the proper pick for Gypsy Jazz has always been a problem. The solution was to make a dedicated pick for this style of music. These picks are among the best in the world. And what wonderful reviews Michael received on the Standard model, now called the Gypsy-Jazz pick. Please click on the comments link.

The material he uses sounds very close to tortoise , but it lasts much longer. The pick has a nicely beveled and curved tip, so it makes a difference if you're right- or left-handed. Both sides have grooves for grip, and the thumb side is concave with grooves.

Michel's standard gypsy picks are 3.5 mm thick, 30 mm long and 26 mm wide. He's improved the Gypsy-Jazz pick several times in order to produce the worlds finest pick for Gypsy jazz playing.

Price: CDN$20.00 - each (shipping included). These come in either right or left handed versions.
