                                       Making my Instrument picks

The GypsyPik A Tortoise Alternative

 Updated  Oct 16th
So I'm trying to drum up interest in these new instruments picks of mine. Material from rare Muskox Horn. I've gotten many E-mls concerning the GypsyPik. There's postings on a few Forums now mostly the Gypsy Jazz forums which really helps. The other day I had an inquiry from Singapore........
   Lately been getting quite few orders from Europe to Asia to the states. The GypsyPik sells for $30 plus shipping, they're fashioned one at a time with a fare bit of hand work and they vary widely in appearance. All are quite stunning and very translucent thickness 2.25mm-3mm




                          
There are two shapes I'm working with now the GypsyPik Standard and the New J-Hook(Jazz Hook)
The J-Hook has a small cresent cut-out to help steady the axis of the pick while in use. The striking points now all have what I call a Compound-Bevel .

 Back in the shop now cleaning up from my season of working my day job ,,,,,now getting ready for instrument related activity......g

John Jorgenson Quintet

Recently experienced the Gypsy/Django style music of the John Jorgenson Quintet and was absolutely floored
by the style, selection of musical pieces, and the accuracy of instrumentation. I was also fortunate enough
to meet with him after the concert. He viewed one of my guitars and said some very nice things
about this particular North Rim model, which has one of my side Sound/ports.

Here's what John Jorgenson's had to say about the North Rim:

 "In my travels I often get the chance to sample the wares of luthiers all over the world. Every once in awhile a guitar stands out in my memory for its exceptional tone and response. Greg Pacetti's is one of these-I didn't want to stop playing it, as the rich, even tone and impeccable intonation was inspirational, just what a player wants from a top-quality instrument."

"...it was a joy to play your guitar!"

Cheers,

John Jorgenson
