Anyone know where to get metal picks made?

[andrew]

I've been looking for triangular metal picks and can't find anyone who makes metal picks with any shape besides the traditional smaller pick shape.

Does anyone know where to get metal picks custom made or someone who does offer them in a larger triangular shape?

There are lots of 'metal art' galleries in my area. They laser cut wall pieces. I would find one and commission a few out of left over scraps. Probably cost you about a buck each.

I got a bunch from a store here in Saint Louis. Go Music. I use the rounded triangle 346 size...love 'em.

Can you take a picture of one? Thanks!

Find an old broken cymbal, cut it down with some heavy duty shears, and shape it to your preferred size and shape with a grinder.

Hit a pawn shop, buy a bench grinder, use a quarter and make your own.

Cost: $0.25 each plus grinder.

Oh yeah, + sandpaper to smooth the edges.

Yeah, but how much will it cost to replace my fingertips?

I've been searching for the rounded triangle Dunlop steel picks.
They were discontinued a few years ago, and are nearly impossible to find.

I don't play with them, but need a few dozen for an art project.

The best way to have them made is with a water-jet, but the price will be high.

Here you go.

Dang, that's exactly what I'm after. Thanks!

The blacksmith at the local Renaissance Fair should help you out real nice.

Do you know if Mohenjo is the company name? That website is gone.

I noticed that when I got them. They might have the last of them...I already purchased 40 of them to hold me over.

I wish.

Try your local machine shop. They can normally fabricate anything.

I have a classmate that owns his own machine shop, so I'll have to ask him this weekend if he could do something like that and how much. He has done little jobs here and there for customer service for little to nothing, but most of his work is precision machining, so unless it's bulk it might end up costing some money. For as something that is as simple as pick, it probably would not be that bad.
