Picking Morgan


Bought these at Davis GMC today- Morgan picks. There were a few designs to choose from & I ended up with these two on grounds of being the least excessive in terms of looks/ design & preferred thickness.

These are definitely not acrylic picks; light as celluloid but tough as delrin. That left one is actually a signature model by a Danish player named Binzer. It reminded my of the Howling Monkey pistol grip feature but feels nothing like it. The right one is basically a standard selection with a fusion twist; the grip area is thick while the pointed tip sports a thinner affair. 

In use both were slippery against the strings so if you fancy this kind of reaction which inevitably manifests some speed, good for you. The pointed tip is also a popular spec for speed freaks. The grip factor here is nothing less than excellent. For those of us who dislike grip-inducing indentations, be assured that these textured surfaces are doing their job very well.

However, they are not my kind of picks. Acrylic pick surfaces rubbing against metal has that wicked friction only metal/ angry players could appreciate so there lies my loyalty. Riffing with these slippery picks don't really manifest definition. Nothing too repulsive here, just personal preference.
