Does anyone know where i can by large blue Herco picks? I have very large hands and all I can find is medium? Will the stretch easily to fit my clubs? Just wanting to trying something new!!
Thanks

A music store here sells them for $1.50 I believe. Inbox me if you would like for me to check it out for you.

Elderly Music has them. They last a long time but it's always good to stock up in case they go away. If you ever run across the dark blue Herco thumb picks call me collect day or night.

I don't believe the Elderly site designates size. I don't know if Hercos actually do come in sizes.

I concur though about the dark blue ones. I used one for years and nearly cried when it broke. Haven't found anything like it since.

I love my Blue Herco’s, and Elderly is a great place to buy from...
I’ve also used the Red Dunlop Delrin Thumbtacks, ( http://www.elderly.com/dunlop-red-delrin-thumbpick.htm)
I don’t know if they’re exactly the same as the Herco’s, but they seem
to be awfully close, though they are a little more $$... the Herco’s at
.50 cents each for a dozen is great.

Not a thumb pick, but the Herco nylon
flat pick has the best sound of any pick ever (I use to swear by a DeAndrea Nylon smooth nylon that they don't make anymore). They are distributed by (or made?) by Dunlop now. They have a classic nylon .66 mm but that's not what I'm talking about. They come in 2 sizes, light gauge (1.20?) and heavy gauge (1.50?). One side is real rough but you can take a small file and smooth it down. But I don't smooth it too much. I like having both sizes depending upon the volume I'm playing. Now I play my pedal steel (an old Fender) with a flat pick. There are a few us, like Ed Littlefield of Marley's Ghost and Junior Brown. Every once in a while I try a thumb pick but not for long. There is nothing like the the sound of a Herco pick.
