I bought this pick to try out how a bone/wooden pick makes a difference. Obviously, each material has its own characteristic, though one may argue how dramatically that characteristic makes a difference regarding tone or playing style/comfort.

I can say it's pretty different than a generic plastic pick. Due to its thickness and stiffness, in my opinion, it gives a brighter tone which comes with more picking noise. It might be useful while playing power cords or some heavy rhythms. However, I don't find this or any similar pick useful without many hours of practice.

Overall, I think my main problem with this pick is its thickness which is 3mm I believe. If it would be thinner with the same aspects it could be an amazing pick.

What I use it for: guitar soloing, because it has an amazing full tone, not making harsh, treble-y sounds and rock bass guitar, because it goes fast AND it has a very full tone, giving me the fundamenals of the bass sound.

What I don't use it for: greek folk guitar, because it hits upon the wood and makes a big, ugly noise, and chord strumming because it sticks a little bit along the way.

All in all a very good tone, very good durability. The only thing that I don't like very much is that it sometimes slips through my hand, as, since it is a fat pick, I can't have a very good grip on it. But that's just me, because I've difficulties with pick holding all of my life.
