Tortoiseshell stuff
Here's a bit of trivia regarding the faux tortoiseshell guitar picks I nicked from Mr. BJ.
"Tortex" has been influential in replacing tortoiseshell guitar picks after an international ban was placed on the trade of tortoiseshell in the late 1970s.It imitates the texture of a tortoise shell and has a grippy feel, so players don't drop the pick while playing"....thank goodness for that !
