I shot another loose pick into the front row last night. I am using the split brass pro pik which I have settled on for the last 20 years. Is there anything new on the market, or old I have been overlooking, that stays on the fingers better or any tricks, I do lick my fingers (trick learned from playing the Japanese Koto) which helps a lot, but I am always pushing them back on during performances. I am hoping there is a newer offering that has solved this problem or has someone found a finger glue type solution. In searches I am not finding much but old suggestions for picks no longer available or out of stock everywhere...
Thanks guys

Recently deceased Scratchmo made a fine pair of fingerpicks that had little "hooks" on the inside that kept the picks firmly in place without being at all uncomfortable. Very high quality and I think his shop is still producing them.
Another trick to keep picks on is to use rosin for a fiddle bow. Rub some of that on your fingers. Very sticky stuff.
Been using fingerpicks since the early seventies. The extra-long bands on Acri's brass fingerpicks lhold my fingers more securely, comfortably, and snugly than others. They don't come off nearly as often.

When I learned to play the Japanese Koto, my teacher taught me to lick my fingers before I put my picks on, it kinda sticks the picks to your fingers a little bit. I am DONE with propicks!!! For 20 years I used them pushing them back on during songs and shooting them at the front row when I got into it. I found some brass ACAIs at a store in Colorado that had bought out another music store. I bought 4 to have an extra (I play with 3 picks on my right hand) and shoudda bought them all. They had another 4 left but when I called back in a month they were gone. I have yet to loose an ACAI pick, they are truly the BEST. I wish someone would copy the design and manufacture them!!!
