Thoroughly Charmed
Is a NPD a thing? Probably not, but what arrived in the mail a few days ago in a featherweight package, a little bigger than a quarter feels almost like multiple NGDs. I'm referring to a 1.50mm flame casein triangle from Charmed Life Picks (no affiliation). What it has done for my two main players, a Collings 0002H and a Martin Ditson 111 reissue is nothing less than astounding.
I don't know what possessed me to buy an expensive pick again. I bought a Blue Chip a few months ago, and granted these things are highly subjective, but as much as I tried to bond with it, it made my guitars sound dull and lifeless. My new casein pick adds SO much sweetness, definition and clarity, with a perfect amount brightness. My rosewood/sitka 000 is noticeably more articulate, with greater note separation. And the big hog is sweeter, accentuating its overtones perfectly. I'm in love, a believer, thoroughly charmed. Thank you. |

We get so many of these comments on here, but oftentimes (as with you), I don't recognize the customer name from the screen name. No biggie. Yeah, as I think most people know buy now, we also make Vespel picks, and it is all so subjective. Personally, as a player, I always reach for a casein pick first, but again, that's subjective too. In my case I'm sure it's because I've been playing genuine tortoise shell picks for more than forty years, and without a doubt casein comes closest to the tone and feel (and even look) of TS. (If someone tells you otherwise, it's probably because they've never played a genuine TS pick, or a top-grade casein pick, or both. In fact I realized recently, I've been playing tortoise shell picks longer than most of the other boutique pick folks have been alive.) But then again, there are a lot people who don't like the sound of TS, so there's that too. Here's the animal. It's been the top-selling triangle in our company for more than four years. https://www.charmedlifepicks.com/pro...our-top-seller Thanks to the reviewer, whoever you are. And folks, the sun is shining in CA today. I looked up and said, "What's that yellow thing up in the sky there?" Peace, Out, Memmer Last edited by Charmed Life Picks; 04-01-2023 at 04:44 PM. |

The CLPs I have sound so good.
