hi all, does any body know if there is a xtra large thumb pick by dunlop , if not by them ,possiblly by another thumb pick maker. regards DEREK.

Derek
I have 3 by someone called Dadi. They're too large for me (The joys of eBay) and I usually use a Dunlop Large. I was going to bring them to David's next Steel meeting.
Drop me your address, I'll stick one in the post.

THANKS FOR REPLY JASON ,ADDRESS IS D.EVANS 15 ARMADALE GROVE, HARTLEPOOL ,TEESSIDE , TS25 5EH, MANY THANKS, DEREK.

on it's way, Derek.

I usually have to enlarge Dunlop large thumb picks by slipping them over the handle of a wooden spoon and holding it in a pan of boiling water - a few seconds at a time, until malleable enough to open them up a bit. I find the Dunlop preferable to the thinner 'Herco' type because there's more 'body' to the thumb pick so they don't seem to need to fit so tightly.
I also file down the 'blade' of the Dunlop to give a more pointed end - seems to give more 'twang'.
What an exciting life I lead

The Perfect Pick is brilliant. Very comfortable and will adapt to any size of thumb with the bendable bits (just like finger picks!)
