Hello to all those devoted RB pick users... Just can't say enough about the tone I get from these choice little melody makers. Have two picks one is a #9XH and the other is a Classic. Since 2009 I've been going strong with the Classic and right before I came to the ROK needed an alternate "IF" something happened to the one and only I had. Not only did I get another gem but also got a pick kit to assist me down the road. Looking forward to the journey.
Has anyone purchased the pick oil and used it? If so please elaborate. I currently have a "dimple warp" in one of my picks and tried mineral oil to straighten it out...alas no success.
Just found my red bear "C" agate pick in my friends car after a week and a half. Honestly I only had one in this shape which I'd came to love so I was struggling to re-adapt to a plastic mock pick of a similar shape. In the same bag was my last real tortoise pick. Well since losing them i had contacted my dad who is from Palau and told him to work on getting me more toroise shell. Red bear makes the best picks I've ever felt or heard, but I want to make sure I have some other comparable resources since they are so backed up on orders. It really is becoming a problem and I hope they can solve it soon. 4 months was my wait. I bevel my own and would love to be their apprentice or if they could find some that work to their standards. That is the only drawback to this company. I am looking forward to getting some more tortoise authentics to play with though.
Kevin if you ever haave worked with Tortoise much it can be flattened using heat. Red Bear picks react the same way. Some like to use boiling water but I use my glass stove top on a medium to medium low heat and press it with a flat pan bottm just long enough for it to get hot enough to flex. Then I move it and keeping pressing until completely cool. Your pick will be flat as new after that, but it will happen occasionally.
