Sizing: A good way to decide which size will work best for you, is by the measurement of the first knuckle on your index finger.
-
- The Large is about a 9 to 9 1/2 ring size, in its relaxed state.
- The Medium is about a 6 1/2 to 7 ring size, in its relaxed state.

The Ultimate FingerPick fits over your fingertip and has the look and feel of your natural fingernail, but with the strength of a pick. A musician can use one, two, three, or even four Ultimate FingerPicks on the picking hand, and they will last for months under normal play. Even though they are not flat, the index fingernail can be used as your flat pick, simply by gripping it with your thumb as if you were gripping a flat pick between your thumb & index finger! The fact that one can DOWNSTROKE sets The Ultimate FingerPick apart from all its competitors. Finger picks really haven’t changed much in a hundred years, except for materials they’re made from—UNTIL NOW! The Ultimate FingerPick can really add an advantage to all stringed instrument players of the world, allowing for improved technique, with a feel as natural as your own fingernails. Touring musicians will want to keep a few in their gig bags, especially if they rely upon their nails for their performances. What do you do if you break a nail in the middle of a show?? The Ultimate FingerPick to the rescue!!

We’re sure these picks can improve technique & performance!
Some suggestions: Some end-users are wearing these picks upside down [banjo players as an example], and others feel more comfy with them cocked to one side or the other, to alter the angle of attack on the strings they’re plucking 🙂 Whatever works! Still others find that the curvature of the nail causes catching on the upstroke, so they “flatten” the underside of the nail with a file, creating more of a flat pick…Less “catching” equates to more precision as the pick glides across the string. The nail has glass beads infused with the resins, making them more ‘acrylic.’
Remember to take the time to shape and buff these nails, as smooth as possible, to your own personal preference, & to get them to glide across the strings without catching. Some guitarists are clipping the ends of the nails to resemble the point of a flat pick, and having success like that. Some Autoharp players are using them “as is” length-wise, straight out of the package and onto their fingers
Powders & string lubricants like Finger Ease work well to eliminate friction between the finger cots. [The emery board included is just a marketing piece, and rather ineffective for filing & shaping].

Hey Guys,
is it available in black or other different colors?
Greetings from Italy

Hi Andrew!
For now, until we get all the sizes we need, we’ve stuck with the natural color of the material used for the injection molding process.
The thumb pick, however, is “clear” and stretchy, practically disappearing once in place on your thumb digit. We’re going to try this same material on the small size finger pick, and hope to have those prototypes this Spring.
Thanks for checking in from Italy…there are a handful of our finger picks on your side of the pond as we speak 🙂
My Best,
~Gus

Hey Gus,
I’m enjoying very much Ultimate Fingerpick, I really love it. Somebody had to invent it!
Is it possible to get it in different colours? I’d like to have some in black.
Let me know as soon as possible.
Kind regards,
Andrew from Italy

IIf you are a charango player who can’t grow decent nails, you need to try these out. I’ve tried every other alternative, and this is the only one that works for me and works really well. Try both sizes. Note the instructions on slitting them if neither fits perfectly.

Hey guys!

Thanks.

todd hill –
are these still available? do you have flesh colored? how long will they last playing them hard?
gus –
We decided to experiment with “clear” so that your own flesh tone will show through 🙂
