Tortoiseshell Alternative from D’Addario and Chris Thile (Nickel Creek, Punch Brothers)
D’Addario’s Casein guitar and instrument picks supply a warmth, attack, and output that was previously only available in true tortoiseshell picks. But unlike tortoiseshell, casein is a humane material derived from dairy protein that can be shaped into endless styles and thicknesses. The D’Addario 2CA7-01CT Chris Thile Signature mandolin pick is built to Chris’s own specifications. The wide triangular shape supplies good control in the hand, with all three edges and tips sporting a comfortable bevel that allows you to glide easily from string to string. At 1.4mm thick, the 2CA7-01CT is a good for rhythms, leads, and solos. Take it from mandolin players at Sweetwater: if you’ve been searching for a tortoiseshell alternative that doesn’t compromise on tone, or ethics, then D’Addario’s Casein 2CA7-01CT Chris Thile Signature is worth a look.D’Addario 2CA7-01CT Chris Thile Signature 1.4mm Casein Mandolin
