Is there a pick that sounds like fingerstyle?

I have a theory that any string thickly coated with teflon or some other polymer should significantly reduce nail damage (Mohs hardness). Someday I'd like to ask the folks at Elixir if they'd make a set like that. Coated flatwounds would probably be even better. I guess taken to its extreme, a regular classical nylon string with a metal filament core would be ideal.

Hi histind, I am also under the same opinion but wonder if there are any teflon (or any low abrasion material) coated flatwound steel string available in the market.

I use a Dunlap Jazz III. It is small and has nice beveled edges. It is about as close as I have found that sounds like finger picking.

Felt picks are the go, from what I've heard. This is a pretty common question on bass forums. Go to a few ukelele supply sites (yes, they exist!) and see if you can get a felt pick or two.

This seemed like a silly question until I remembered using felt picks as a kid with my ukulele...

I think THE THUMB is the best for that muted style sound.

This is going into the annals of silly all-time ideas but I am going to try silicone surgical tubing and stretch it over a pick for the "fleshy" sound. Try different thicknesses until you find one that you like.

NB: I found out that surgical tubing is actually made of latex.

You could try surgical gloves to .
