Where can I purchase plectrums?
As I do with my guitar pics, I often misplace my plectrums and would like to know where to buy more. I see them once and a while through ebay but does
anyone know of a place that sells them instead of an auction type deal?

plectrum making
hello,
You can also make then with some cable tie that you can get at your local home improvement center. The size needs to be 3/4 inch size of cable tie.
You then will need some sandpaper and maybe a file. You then cut the cable tie to the size you wish to have it and then use the sandpaper to thin it
out to make it flexilbe to your needs. I hope that that helps you out and good luck.

I purchased some of the "good" rishi from Pyramid in Germany (http://www.pyramid-saiten.de). They're not bad. I usually use horn rishi from Egypt but they cost a lot to ship. The nice thing about the horn
rishi is that they are easy to thin by scraping with a sharp edge. I haven't tried that with the celluloid.
