Every place I try is sold out. Any source that has them in stock?

Aloha Pete!

I've never heard of that brand.

But I use JIM DUNLOP .025" Brass Fingerpicks. They come 20 in a tube for $35 on Amazon.

I like them a lot, and they work just fine for me.

Best thing is that they are easily sourced, affordable, and replaceable.

Aloha,

I recently discovered Acri also...they grab the fingertip over a pretty wide area, so they don't fall off, and the finger doesn't compress as you pick, so it is a cleaner result than other picks that compress the fingertip and then spring back.
I use the steel ones...never tried brass...
