A good product.
I wanted to try bronze thumb picks to try and get that “Martin Carthy” sound on a couple of pieces and these are simply brilliant for that.
Being metal they will probably last a lifetime…unlike your strings. Coated strings such as Elixir are stripped of their coating after just a few minutes of picking, even uncoated phosphor-bronze strings like EJ16 have a tough life when you use one of these picks…that said, with EJ16 you’ll probably change every couple of weeks if you play a lot so it doesn’t really matter.
What you might want to try is gently sanding the edges with wet & dry paper l to remove the corners, this also softens the sound a little too.
Highly recommended for the right application.

Geipel Thumb Pick Bronze 7
The bronze used to make this pick appears to be B8 (see cymbals) which is about the hardest bronze (but nothing like as hard as nickel-silver). It is a right handed thumb pick only. Size 7 is quite comfortable for me to play with. The sound and feel are excellent and well balanced on zither chords (4 strings).
