John Pearse Fast Turtles Faux Tortoise Shell Picks

John Pearse Fast Turtles Faux Tortoise Shell Picks

Tortoise Shell picks have been considered the "Holy Grail" of instrument picks since the early days. As we know, it is illegal to manufacture picks using tortoise shell.

John Pearse now makes picks which are legal and non-lethal to life forms, and which offers players a very similar sound. The John Pearse FAST TURTLES are so named in honor of all the tortoises who got away safely!

Fast Turtles are made from "Casein", a milk protein material, producing a warm tone overall and less "ticking" sound as the pick strikes the strings.

They are available in 5 different gauges = Extra Thin , Thin, Medium, Heavy and Extra Heavy . They also come with a complimentary cloth pouch so that they won't get left in your pockets and go through the washing machine.

These picks are sold and shipped individually based on the size you choose below. Colors and patterns will vary on each pick.
