1. Amazon is about the most expensive place for picks. But that is probably about normal by time

you figure in shipping that you get free with Amazon Prime.

Those Gravity picks get pretty good reviews, on guitar and mandolin sites.

But, get this, there are actually some very popular picks out there that go for $35 to $40 a piece. You don't see them in stores, unless it's a super high end one. Look up BlueChip picks.

I still like Fender, Dawg picks for mandolin, Pro Plec and even some simple Dunlops. I use everything from heavy to thinner gauges because they make the instrument sound so different just by spending a dollar or two.

Getting ready to drone away on my Bouzouki tonight.
