  1. Heather

    These make strumming easy!

    I’m a beginner at ukelele. My strumming is often uneven and sounds different every strum, especially because my fingernails are too short. These make my strumming sound more even, consistent and louder.Love the bright colors so they are easy to see if I drop one on the couch, floor, etc.

    Didn’t really work for me but still might be a good product

    The felt picks are comfortable, firm, and came as advertised. My issues (which might just be my problem) are 1) that I had to grip it vise-like otherwise the pick slid around between my index finger+thumb. I hadn’t expected to have to hold that tightly. My index finger was a bit sore – thought using a pick would give my finger a break. Instead it made other areas of my hand hurt. 2) The loudness. I thought using felt would dampen the sound but using these picks made every strum so loud. I’m just playing for myself not an auditorium. Sometimes I play at night when others are sleeping. I really can’t have it be that loud. I think the picks probably work as they’re supposed to just not what I expected having never used one. I would advise anyone buying these to consider my 2 issues + if those wouldn’t be a problem for them then purchase. Otherwise, just strum with your fingers.

    Quality

    Produce a nice sound but the picks don’t last long. After a song or two they start to fray

  4. Amazon Customer

    Sound great with bass, but don’t stay stiff long

    Exactly the tone I wanted (I don’t have good bass fingerings chops, but I can use a pick just fine) Tip of pick gets soft after about 10 min of hard playing….not surprising because, duh, it’s felt. But I hadn’t expected it upon first use. Good thing it’s a six pack.

    Great for sensory kids

    This was a great tool to use for those kids that have sensory issues while learning to play a stringed instrument such as the guitar or ukulele.When my daughter started playing ukulele (age 7) she had meltdowns in music class. Once we allowed her to use the felt (texture is soft) them she played more confidently and was able to play music with no issues. No or little meltdowns. I highly recommend for sensory kids.

    Perfect for Bass guitars and others….

    I purchased these for a couple of reasons. First, was to get rid of pick noise while recording my bass guitar. Second, to get away from the harshness of using a pick on a classical “gut string” guitars. It does the trick. They are pretty durable and offer a comfortable solid feel. They will wear out over time and if you play hard you might bend them. These are NOT for Windmill Power chords. They offer a smooth sound on all the guitars I’ve played with these. Would buy again!

    Cute and Colorful, Work Great

    I bought these for the elementary students in my ukulele club–they are colorful and strong enough for strumming with ease. The kids loved the different colors and felt special to get their own pick! 🙂

  8. Dominic T. Sedillo

    They’re fine…

    I bought these just to try them out. I’m not really one to play the Ukulele with a pick, but they’re pretty good if you’re someone who is used to playing with a pick. They’re not as hard as a normal plastic guitar pick. Their fuzzy/soft feel makes the sound on the Uke more subtle and it’s probably best for not breaking strings* (*because otherwise why make them out of felt).If you wanna give them a shot I’d say “go for it”. It’s a small investment and you may end up loving them.

    Great!

    These picks were great! I got 12 of them. I play bass guitar and these work great for bass guitar. I highly recommend them.

    Great on electric bass

    These are capable of producing great tones on electric bass guitar if you bend the corners back and forth first to soften them up a bit in order to help keep string amplitude more consistent while picking. If you cringe at the idea of using a pick on electric bass but have never tried a felt, these might change your mind for those songs that really need a pick.

    Overall good

    Fun using a different pic, sounds is very unique . Love it on my ukulele

  12. Jon Z

    Go for the solid gray ones

    A bit stiff. The solid dark gray ones by same company I like better

  13. HJ

    Bright colors, great picks

    These ukulele picks look great, feel great, and sound great. They make it easier to pick out melodies and chords in a standard and repeatable fashion. Love the colors

  14. KLR

    For music classroom

    I bought these to use in the music classroom. I am hoping that they hold up to many classes of 20+ students day after day. They seem to be sturdy but they will definitely get the kid test.

  15. Matt

    Sturdy picks. Many colors.

    I bought these to help my kids keep an interest in practicing. Every little bit helps. The picks are colorful and do the job. Note that using picks tend to make the practicing louder.

  16. MattP

    Love these

    These are so much better than the traditional type of picks and they work great on my uke.

  17. DIANE HART

    Colorful!

    Easier to hold onto than plastic pic…softer sound.

  18. Bill

    Not suitable for bass guitar

    These picks did not hold up on a bass guitar with flat wound strings. They are quite soft and bend immediately against the thickness of a bass string. Less than 10 minutes and the pick was useless.They seem like they would be fine for ukelele though.

  19. Susan Proctor

    Ukulele picks

    This is a Christmas gift so I can’t rate it

  20. Tawnya

    Cute

    I bought these for a teen who plays guitar and who wanted a ukulele. They are cute and seem just as sturdy as the regular felt picks.

    Not what I like for picks

    They don’t sound as nice

  23. Uke player

    Works & sounds great!

    Easy to hold, comfortable & provides a great sound without clicking on the strings. A great help since I have an injured index finger & can’t use it to strum.

  24. Randy Kienzle

    Works

    They are a little thicker than I would like. But do the job and don’t make a harsh clicking when you strum.

  25. glupavomomiche

    Great picks!

    I use these with my ukulele and Venezuelan quatro. They are very sturdy, the heart cut out makes them easier to hold, and I get great sounding strums with these. Very happy with these!

    Product is soft but the felt is solid, feel it is well made

    Using any pick with my ukulele is a unique experience. The sound is louder which for me is not important since I only play by myself and I do not perform at all.. I am glad I have the picks and would order them again

  27. Mary

    Soooo cute!

    When I bought my ukulele, the shop owner threw in a felt pick and I learned to play with it. However, after practicing nearly an hour a day for a week, the pick wore out. So I got these! The felt isn’t fraying out like it did on my first pick and it’s remaining sturdy. It’s lasting a lot longer! I love them! 🙂

  28. JH

    Great for U Bass

    I got these to try with an amplified ukulele bass with the thick, rubbery Thundergut strings. So far I really like these picks. They’re easy to hold on to with the center cut out, the tone sounds great when plucking the strings, and they aren’t hard on the strings. I also got some leather picks, and I’m leaning toward liking these felt picks better for tone. My only concern with these is how long they will last. They seem like they might get softened up over time with use. But so far, so good!

  29. Alice F. Cashwell

    Great addition to my Music Classroom

    I used these for teaching ukulele with 4th grade students. The picks are firm enough to produce a quality sound but soft enough not to damage the strings.

  30. Shanna

    Awesome

    Got these for my daughter as she liked the heart in the middle. I ended up liking them just as much as my daughter. I play my Ukulele about a hour a day and I have used the same pick for 3 weeks now. Other picks I’ve had only lasted a week or one session. Will be stocking up on these for sure!

  31. Katie Anderson

    Love them!!!

    I’ve never tried picks for my uke before, but I am 1000x more inspired to play now that I have some! The strumming sounds great, and very even, and the colors are so bright!

  32. Jennifer Plunk

    Great for kids!

    My daughter is just learning to play and these picks are very easy to use. She said they are much easier to hold than a regular pick and the hole in the middle makes a big difference. Will definitely purchase again in the future.

  33. I really tried it

    crisp sound

    I’m a beginner in playing the Uke. I used the plastic pick that came with the kit but wanted to try something different. These are great. Comfortable to hold,nice clean sound

  34. Karen Bronchetti

    My favorite ukulele picks

    After trying many picks, these are my favorite. When they hit the strings, these picks do not make a sound that interferes with the music of the ukulele. I need the cutout to prevent the pick from rotating between my fingers. Perfect picks.

  35. Rhoo

    Great pics! Exactly as described.

    Product is exactly as described. The heart cut outs help you to grip the picks easily. They play just like a plastic pic but without that hard plastic clicky sound on the uke strings which make for a better overall sound. If you like to play with pics, I recommend this product.

    Felt picks, help

    Teaching myself to play the ukulele and picked up these felt picks for strumming. Love ’em, I get a more consistent strum with them than with my finger. I know, I know, practice, practice, practice. But strumming is fun.

  37. Frank

    Works but thicker than I expected

    They works and are well made. A bit thicker than I hopef

    Cute and works

    Just got these today and they are so cute! I’m probably going to gift some of them to my two best friends who also play the ukelele.

  40. P. Roland

    Great for little fingers or those who have trouble pinching.

    These work really well for grasping. Whether you have little fingers or older (and/or less capable of pinching fingers), these are great. The little heart-shaped hole allows you to hold on to the pick with less stress to your finger/thumb.

  41. B. Clark

    Nice and affordable

    They were exactly as I expected. I bought them for my students at school. My only complaint would be that they show dirt easily- other than that they’re glorious.

  42. Lauren Bourgard

    Too Soft

    I used these picks with my tenor ukulele (one steel string for low G) and they did not hold up. One use and they already have become very torn up. If you use this product, they should probably be used with a soprano, maybe a concert ukulele. But they are much to soft for anything larger or with more coarse strings.

  43. Steven Rea

    I’m not sure I like felt picks in general. I’ll probably stick with plastic ones. But these work fine.

    Felt picks take a little getting used to. I’m not sure if they are for me.

  44. ErrJ

    Easy to hold, Fun colors

    Easy for me daughter to hold. Loved the colors and heart cutout. Should be good to help her as she is learning proper techniques.

  45. Ida bailey

    PICKS

    Thinner than the ones I am use to.

  46. HR

    Just right!

    Bolo picks are just the right thickness so they have the right amount of “give.” — I prefer these to the other “heart” uke picks.

  47. JohnnieFrancesGodwin

    Very easy to install

    It is movable was easy to install. I had it installed in minutes and it did not leak. Water pressure very good. Great produce for a great price

  51. Rothko

    Does the job

    Colorful picks. Perfectly serviceable

  52. BanjoGuy

    Not just for kids

    These picks produce a more authentic ukulele sound than plastic or leather, both which I find are to stiff. For new players, there’s less chance of catching and breaking a string or pulling it out of tune with the felt. Also for any lady ukuleleists, you don’t have to worry about ruining your manicure by strumming with your fingers now. Great for strumming chords, less great for individual solo string play

    Great buy

    Reasonably priced so I felt I could share them with the other 5 people in Uke class

  54. Amazon Customer

    Useful and comfortable

    They are almost all that I know since I took up learning ukulele. At the beginning, my fingers on my strumming hand invariably just plain old hurt. With these wonderful soft felt tips, that discomfort has been totally eliminated. And I don’t like the sound of plastic. The colors are a fun bonus.

    9 y/o daughter loves

    These things are huge but easy for my 9 y/o daughter to use with her uke and of course she loves the way they look. They are a good size for small hands and felt so they easy to grip.

    Great Picks

    This was a good deal… 12 picks for a low price.If you play Ukulele a lot, the felts picks often wear out rather soon. Therefore, you end up using more picks. I am glad I found these, I don’t have to order so often.

  57. Ryanetics

    Dull

    I wanted to like these more than I do. Absolutely kills the tonality of the strings. Dull, lifeless, no ring to it or brightness at all :(I’ll most likely go back to finger picking and strumming

  58. DdDd

    Great ukulele picks at a better price.

    Exactly what I was looking for. Guitar pick size. Holding up well so far.

  59. Regina Schwartz Vazquez

    Cute and easy to hold.

    I think I can actually play louder with these picks. I had trouble strumming with my index finger because the nail is always broken. These picks seem to give me more control.

    I am tiny tim now.

    So good. I can play like tiny tim now.
