I've carved and shaped about ten of my own bone picks from ram's horn material. I give some away and keep a few. My favorite pick is a BlueChip so I compare all my other picks to that. My best bone pick I usually pull out when I need a little more of a high toned yet earthy sound. Almost kind of "bluegrassy". Ok, all you true bluegrass players out there are probably rolling your eyes at that description but I'm kind of at a loss to describe it any other way. If I have a song in church that needs that sound instead of the mellower BlueChip sound I go for the bone pick. So, I like the sound of the bone, but its a situational thing for me. Hope that helps! :-)
