I’ve read a lot of opinions about flat picks and many swear by one or another. I assume they must be picking much faster than me as I top out between 100 and 120 BPM on a good day. I like a medium firm pick rather than a thin pick.
My kids gave me a pick punch one year to make picks for a 4th grade Ukulele class I was teaching as a service project (you don’t have to know much). Those were punched out of credit cards, motel cards, used gift cards, cruise cards or anything. I was surprised by the different tones each card would give and none of them were “professional picks”. All that said to say, I’m not a pick elite and just use whatever is close by and I leave them lying all around. If I am really going to try to pick with some bluegrass friends, I’d go find one in the pile that felt good and didn’t slow me down as I’m not that fast. So there is my non answer answer.
