Descrizione
Flexible and durable, warm and full of rich sound, those were the properties that made actual tortoise-shell picks so popular. Naturally, producing picks from real tortoise shells has been prohibited for a long time. That's why manufacturers have tried everything to create a synthetic material that has the same properties. With the Teddy's Neo Tortoise picks, Snark gets awfully close to the original. The SP94NT set consists of 12 medium-heavy picks, that are 0.94 mm thick. As such, they're great for soloing, if you're in need for definition and accuracy. Finally, these picks are laser-cut and polished for 30 hours to give them a smooth surface that eliminates string drag, and they feature a non-slip coating for optimal control.
Teddy's Neo Tortoise picks
Originally, tortoise-shell picks had many advantages that made them very popular among guitarists. They offered a bright, warm sound, and they were both durable and flexible. The downside, of course, was the fact that making them took a toll on the tortoise population. As such, it's not surprising that using real tortoise shells for picks has been prohibited for many years. From the moment they were banned, people have been trying to capture their unique properties in a synthetic pick. We're glad to report that Snark has finally succeeded, with their Teddy's Neo Tortoise picks. They offer that warm and bright sound, and both the flexibility and durability. Better yet, no tortoises were harmed in the making of these picks! As an added bonus, they even come with a free pick file that allows you to customise their shape to suit your style!
Consigli e osservazioni
- Come i plettri Tortoise originali, anche gli Snark Teddy's Neo Tortoise sono particolarmente flessibili. La sensibilità al tatto di un plettro Neo Tortoise con spessore di 0,94 mm è equiparabile a quella di un plettro in celluloide/plastica di 0,8 mm.
