Customer reviews about Harley Benton PB1 Bone Pick

BH

Pro tip

Boyan Hristov 13.09.2020

It took months of playing to wear out one of these. Then I just sharpened off the worn bevel on a hard surface and it's good to go for at least another month and a half. Probably the most durable pick I've had. For reference, I wear out a dunlop primetone triangle (a very durable pick) in about a month! A triangle is essentially 3 picks, mind you ;)

I love the grip and the TONE! Great attack, especially on the wound strings- it gives them clarity and punch. I use it only on electric.

I'm guitar pick aficionado - I have a huge collection and I like to experiment, get different tones from different materials and shapes.
I play with fingers 50% of the time still..

The HB exotic picks are a great deal I think - cheap, last a long time, sound great.

If anyone at Thoman reads these - please make them in OTHER SHAPES as well - like... triangles. Thanks

Strum your instrument like a Hunter Gatherer

Moon K 08.02.2018

That's right strumming with bone is a real cool thing to do.
If anyone remembers the "Dugain" Plectrums (Picks) and loved them then this is for you and guess what? They are not as expensive.
They are tough and durable.
Honour the beasts you eat by utilizing the whole carcass.
NOT FOR VEGETARIANS/VEGANS JUST CAVEMEN.

Pretty Hard-Core picking...!

Johnny Ska 21.02.2018

Really hard and strong picks, probably not suited for acoustic playing...

I bought them just for the fun of it, and mostly out of curiosity, and tried them out on my acoustic guitar so far.
They produce a pretty strong and "plucky" sound on the strings, nice for experimenting a little bit but they are probably more suitable for basses and stronger strings in general!

A bit slippery as far as the grip is concerned, but overall a nice item to try even just for the sake of variety.

They scratch the strings in a very weird way

Sasha F 13.11.2023

It’s like the picks have a rough texture that when you touch the strings, it scratches on them and it is not a pleasant feeling, I only played with this pick when I didn’t have any other picks, until I lost it.

A good pick for the money but...

Honkytonky 05.04.2021

I did not like the grip grooves. I wish it would be simple without any grooves. I will try to sand it out somehow. Anyway the bone looks nice and the entire product is very good quality.

Most unique one so far

SenX 30.10.2020

I bought a few wood picks to compare and this bone pick stands out. It looks a bit like crystal or pearl and the white color is really pretty.

Great smooth picks

Yago Trillo 29.09.2020

I bought several different types of picks just to try new sounds. From all of them this is the only one I use regularly. I use them on classical guitars. These picks are hard as a rock and have very smooth edge feel, they don't scratch the strings and don't get jaggy edges with use, as the wood-timber ones do. They have a small bevel in the middle to male grip easier.

it does the job and does it well

ivannn 14.12.2023

The picks are very firm, no flexing at all and there is no surprise to that. They have curved surface and feel comfortable in my hand. Picks are symetric hence a left hand player may disagree to that.
Picks are not too thick for my liking and allow efortless and precise percussion like picking of the strings.

Them used to be a part of an animal

Ivan Makkin 01.01.2021

Now they serve the great purpose of art and musicmaking. Don't waste them.
