4.0 out of 5 stars These picks produce a nice soft tone..., April 7, 2007

I got these picks on a whim, in an attempt to soften the tone a bit with basic chord strums. I was pleased with the sound. No plastic pick sound, just the tone of the strings. A little fat and soft (obviously) for individual string picking, but a very nice sound for softer chords. The only drawback is after considerable playing, the rubber does break down and gets into and on to the guitar. Use them sparingly.

Playing an acoustic ukulele with all nylon strings, I've preferred just to strum using my fingers because "traditional" plastic picks are just too harsh and loud. Even felt picks are too harsh (not to mention the dust/shedding they do).

The Wedgie is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Harder than my thumb, softer than plastic or felt, the 3.1mm Hard Rubber Wedgie is the Goldilocks pick; right in the butter zone.

I tried the "Soft" and "Medium" Wedgies, but both were just too soft. The Soft Wedgie over-grabs the strings and winds up dragging and producing a dull tone. The Medium is better, but is still too dull and the action is a bit too soft.
But the Hard Wedgie is the clear winner. I get great volume and tone without the harsh twang of plastic on nylon strings.

The only negatives I've found are:
1. They can leave skid marks on your pick guard. No big deal, as it wipes right off.
2. They break down faster than I'd like. Of course, that could just be my expectations.

Still, if you're looking a softer-than-plastic pick, this is the one to get. No pick noise, just strings. I couldn't be happier.

Hi Musicians
I would like to take a moment and share with you my thoughts on the rubber picks known as Wedgie

I have been playing Bass since 1968 and still own the 2nd Bass I bought in 1969. I have no guitar experience and partly due to that I have never really used a pick. I do occasionally pick one up and fiddle about with it.

I saw the Wedgies a few months ago on Amazon and placed all three styles Hard, Medium, Soft in my wish list. I purchased them 3 weeks ago and have rarely put them down while playing, I have a 40 year old Felt pick and it is 40 because I rarely used it and it has always given that nice (non plastic) sound.

I will tell you that I am very impressed with the sound of Wedgie I am getting.... particularly from the Hard Wedgie and it seems the best for me and my playing, as I said I have not put them down and I usually play 3-4 hrs a day.
I do see the tip of it is getting worn a little bit. But of no concern I am sure it will last a very Very Long Time (many Months) I imagine it could get lost before worn out and the price is for 3 of them.

I will update it's useful as the years go by.

So if you are looking for a great deal on a great pick this is the choice, Wedgie!!
