Herdim picks
General mountain dulcimer or music discussions
Can anyone explain the Herdim three-strength triangular picks to me please? They do a thin, medium and thick (yellow, blue and red respectively, I think), but each of them has three points with three different 'strengths'... How does that work? Does the yellow go from very thin to thin to almost medium, etc., or do they overlap in thicknesses, or are the different 'strengths' to do with something other than thickness, or what? I'm thinking of trying them but they're expensive and I don't want to buy the wrong one(s).
For the dulcimer I use the red ones, the thickness is actually not documented anywhere. Here in Germany I can order a set of 12 in 3 colors for only 6,90 Euros, if they charge you more for a little piece of nylon you might have just been visiting the wrong shop.
