Storing Picks

I’m guessing you take the bill over to your local music store and have them convert it into some picks.

I just cut up the corners of the credit cards, they are all maxed out buying music gear any way!

I have a bag of 6 picks, never been opened. I’m thinking it might be a collectors item someday… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

In my old band as guitarist I literally stopped buying picks and learned to play with folded playing cards instead.

Was easier and cheaper to go through a 32 card deck (yes, skat is the more common deck in the EU, not poker) than through 5 picks.

Not in Portugal! Never even heard of 32 cards decks :joy:. Always learning…
We use the Bridge ones that have the “traditional” 52 + jokers

Oh, it’s even more local? Okay. Didn’t know.


This here is a “normal” Skat deck to us Germans. Including the “french (style) images”.

Local to you or for me?
If it’s for me, not at all. We use the international standard. AFAIK we don’t have a local variation.

Poker decks, for me is just a different size and larger numbers/letters for easy peaking. Everything else (the suits, number of cards) is the same.

For me. Even more local than EU, maybe Germany/France or something like that.
“A deck of cards” in Germany is most likely, not for sure, aforementioned Skat deck.

Do you want someone to break your window & steal your pick?! lol

For me I actually have a small jewelry closet box thing a girl gifted me which had this slide out drawer compartment for storing rings which have these slots that I slide the picks into on top of my bar counter for when I need one. Sort of like this one.

I use the chest for short tabletop guitar cables inside the doors where the necklaces go though.

It’s a neat piece of furniture in here. It has a mirror too for when I open it & see how badly I need to brush the bed out my head after 3 days worth of studio time. :exploding_head:

Yeah, pretty sure Skat decks are a German thing. I had never heard of them before either.

@PamPurrs just the cheapest one I could find on Amazon :slight_smile:

Now I have 2 extras that I don’t know what to do with. Maybe I’ll take up sewing. Or start taking a lot of vitamins.
