Description: Don't fall for the "TORTOISE" wording in other ads. Selling real tortoise shell picks is ILLEGAL unless they are made from old, vintage tortoise items and there's proof of that. Other turtle picks on the market are being described as "scratchy" or "rough" even after polishing, and you can see in their photos their poor quality. Mine are AMAZINGLY SMOOTH, and highly polished so they glide off the strings. I've sold 100s pieces on Etsy with no returns, LOTS of happy customers, and a 5-star rating! We've been offering a full line of wood, bone, and horn picks for years, and are happy to now offer a high-quality turtle shell pick. As you can see the turtle shell color and opaqueness vary, you'll occasionally you'll see some with a variation of colors such as white, tan, and dark brown. Hmm, how to describe the tone you get from my turtle picks... smooth, like butta'. If you haven't tried picks other than the basic plastic/celluloid you don't know what you've been missing. How do they sound? The first few strums and plucks, wow, tonally it gives you a softer smoother tone, by that I mean you don't get that celluloid snap/click noise, it just glides so nicely, I just didn't want to put it down! How they are made...these picks are hand-shaped, and polished to a super smooth finish. These aren't tortoise shell, these are red slider turtle, but the finish make these are close to them in terms of playability. If you haven't had the pleasure of playing with a tortoise, you absolutely fall in love with mine.
