How did you figure out the size to buy?
I wear a medium glove, so went with 3 medium picks. They come in medium and large at Elderly. The split wraps allow better fine adjustment than the single wraps.

Oh, and where do you get the speed picks? My pedal steel player has one that he got in a music store on a vacation, and I couldn't find them.
Dip the band into boiling water for about 15 seconds, then put them on and immediately dip into ice water. They'll fit much more comfortably.I need to find some that work for me. The plastic ones either hurt after a few minutes or go flying in short order. Therefore I rarely take the time to get used to playing with them.
I do. But as is clear from this thread, I'm not too happy with my fingerpick situation.picked up some brass dunlop .18's seem like they might work but I'm sure they will take some getting used to. Do you guys roll the 'nail' part a bit to the side so they strike the strings at a flatter angle than having it centered over the pad of your fingertip?
Still hoping to order some propiks--it looks like they don't connect with the fingernail at all--is that right?
For frailing, try turning them around, oriented like your natural nails...might work better.Got my propiks, via Amazon. They're fantastic for fingerpicking, but I've got to get them fitted to my fingers before I make my final judgement. As is, they don't work too well for frailing banjo--they still catch and fling off. The alaska picks were better for that, but as mentioned earlier, they don't work consistently for me.
