Melody Farrand 1 Posted April 25 I have been using my nails for finger picking, but they catch sometimes. Have any of you tried slip on finger picks? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skip 1 Posted April 26 (edited) I use my bare fingers/thumb, no nails, for both fingerpicking, [multiple notes] and ''flatpicking' [single notes/strums]. The sound is softer and smoother. I use fingerpicks or a plectrum [guitar style pick] occasionally when I wand loud, but the sound is harsh to me, especially since I play resonator dulcimer most of the time.

dholeton 19 Posted April 26 I tried a thumb pick and finger picks years ago when I was first learning to play dulcimer. I got them to fit but I didn't work with them long enough to determine if they were beneficial. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoterMan 11 Posted April 27 The only one I've ever used is the Herco Thumb-Flat Pick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
