I asked Bob Colosi concerning his walrus ivory picks. I wanted a bright-sounding pick, which he claimed I would get with this choice. I was disappointed in the darkness in the tone I was getting. I hate to write this in a review, but since these are expensive, I wanted to save some other buyers possible disappointment.
Note: To get brighter tone from an existing plastic pick, try filing the point so that it is a bit more pointed, and file the flat surface of the tip so it is thinner at the tip. This will give brighter tone. You can start with a medium gauge pick, and file it to make it perform like a very thin pick. This gives the player a pick that is not flimsy, but bright. My favorite brands are the "Cool" picks (white version) and the Clayton fake tortoise-shell picks.
