We carry Propik™ brand Thumb Picks
We are moving!!! 8 miles down the road.
The new place will be better than ever. We have B, D, E, and Indian style bars in stock that can ship during the move. We are still taking orders for anything, but certain bars will not be able to ship until the last week of June. Thanks for understanding. It will be worth it!
Tribo-Tone™ bars generate only the pure notes and musical tones intended by the artist.
TRIBOLOGY: the science of reducing the frictional forces and wear between interacting surfaces in relative motion. www.stle.org
A common artifact of slide/steel guitar music is the hiss, grind, and squeak noise created by dragging an object across the guitar strings. This noise was never part of any design criteria but by default has remained an almost standard, yet unintended feature.
Tribo-Tone™ bars all but eliminate this un-musical, un-intended noise. This puts the musician in control of the sound. By improving the signal to noise ratio between the guitar player and their instrument, notes are free to ring true and clear.
· Virtual elimination of hiss, grind, and squeak noise
· High signal to noise ratio for the cleanest, clearest notes
· Wonderful note separation and definition
· Full body tone!!! This bar is not thin on tone
· Low friction - fast fretting

· Lead free and made from non-toxic materials
· Durability equal to steel
· Choice of weight, size, and color
· Made in the U.S.A.
