ARTIST QUOTES AND SOUND
SAMPLES
All sound samples were made using the Wirething
pick.
 Jerry
Donahue, guitarist currently with the Hellecasters
and who has shared the stage and studio with the likes of Elton
John, George Harrison, and Robert Plant, comments,
"I used to use flat copper picks exclusively, for their great tone.
They were too easy to drop though, and I didn't like the thin flat
grip. The Wirething pick is great because it has the tone of the copper
pick and a grip that you can hold on to. I really like the steel ones
too for an edgier attack!" |

| "I
really like the copper pick!!! ... I used it on all tracks for our
two new songs...I should have a copy to send you this week!"
-- Brandon Todd, guitarist with Jekyll's
Hiding Place |

| "Wow!
What a unique sound. I got the picks yesterday. Thanks a lot. They're
very different to anything I've used before. They give a very clear
sound, and are much easier than I imagined to control. I'll definitely
be telling my friends about the Wirething pick." -- Anna
Massie, New York music camp instructor and Honors student at University
of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland |

| "Just
wanted to drop you a line to let you know that I read about the Wirething
in Acoustic Guitar mag this month and I had to order one. I love it!
It's a little smaller than what I'm used to (Dunlop Tortex 1mm) in
circumference, but I like the "fatter" feel with the bump grip, and
it sounds fantastic! I'm using it on Elixir strings right now, and
it will be interesting to see if the metal tip wears out the strings
faster than plastic, but a little loss of string life is definitely
made up for with the clearer, brighter sound.... Best of luck with
business, and I'll be sure to mention it to other guitar players."
-- Aaron Thorne,
guitarist |

| "Thanks
again... VERY GREAT Picks.... I will order again..." -- Kim
Wan, South Korea |

| "It's
a work of art." -- Tim
Price, sax player with the Doc Severinsen band, Selmer
saxophone endorser and clinician |

| "...
I just wanted to let you know I did receive the Wirething picks today,
thanks! These picks are terrific! I've been a long time tortoise shell
user for years and have tried lots of different pick materials. Not
so much as a substitute for the t.s. (have yet to find anything) but
just trying to find another way of approaching my picking technique.
I remember the old Hot Licks copper picks, they sounded cool, but
I hated the way they felt when I gripped them. You definitely merged
the best of both worlds between metal and plastic in a very unique
and superior pick design. Since, I play more electric than acoustic
(the steel tips sound great with my Martin, by the way) I have placed
another ccnow order for some more of the copper wire versions (my
picks have a habit of growing feet and running away). I'll turn some
of my friends on to them too. Anyway, thanks again, and I'll do what
I can to spread the word about the Wirething picks...now if I can
only get a recording contract!" -- Craig Swearingen, guitarist |
||||
| "They
rule. I love the way they feel and sound. Everything else now seems
to suck." -- Chris
Francis, guitarist with the British rock band Ten |
||||
| "Great
product!" -- David Letsche, Wirething customer |
||||
| "...light
and grippy, but you still get a distinctive metallic vibe..."
-- Guitar Magazine UK, February 2002 |
||||
| "You
can really get a lot of dynamics out of this thing." --
Chad McLoughlin, New York City based jazz/fusion guitarist |
||||
| "The
rounded tip and smooth release of the Wirething Stainless Steel pick
feels great for the fast sweep and alternate picking licks. The tone
of the pick helps me with note definition when playing riffs in the
lower register of my 7-string; it's almost like using an exciter or
maximizer in the signal chain. The sound and feel of these picks is
very addicting." -- Tom
Kopyto, Massachusetts
heavy metal shredder who had a mention in Guitar Player magazine,
June 2002 |
