- My Brossard guitar and mandolin picks are the most beautiful looking, feeling and sounding I have ever used. Each one is a wearable work of art but more importantly, brings the true humanity and range of character out of each instrument. Nancy Wilson-Heart- Amazing picks! I've been using them in the studio with great results. They are as wonderful sounding as they are beautiful. I would HIGHLY recommend these picks for any guitarist ... no matter what type of guitar or style. This is a must have! Craig Bartock- Heart- Having lived with your excellent, high quality premium plectrums, I have 2 questions; Could you make picks that are shorter from back to tip (without losing the width)? Secondly could you make picks with a less severe tip? Don't get me wrong-I love the current form factor-but I have a large collection of custom picks (Yours are amongst the finest), and I look at my picks in much the same way that a golfer views his clubs-certain picks for certain songs etc. Slick new site BTW!I'm very excited about developing some prototype custom work. I'll send sketches or pics of what I'm thinking about and ideas for materials etc....Vernon Reid-Living Colour- Wow!!! never used anything like these before - completely transforms the sound of the guitar. the picks offer a different tonal quality to your average pick. highly recommended!!!Andy Hunt- Lethargy-England- Just received yet another order from you this time a pair of exellent Lignum Vitae picks and another Bone pick.Your picks never seazes to amaze me. They are superbly finished and have brought nuances in my playing I thought unobtainable. Richard Lundmark, Sweeden - The Brossard Picks are well crafted and beautifully made with love! Case on point they offer a Supreme picking ability for fast execution. I've been sharing the love and passing some around to other guitarists I know. I respect what you do and am happy to spread the word.FYI, many guys like the key chain leather holder and the girls dig they can be worn around the neck. : )Oh and NICE to see you incorporated your own "Pick of Destiny"! That was a good one! LOL!Rachelle Ramm- Hi Chris,Again thanks for sending the Brossard Picks....... Doug Jansen my Musical Director and Guitar Player is using them and Clive Lendich a leading guitar player/session player is now also using them, Clive Lendich works with Manhattan Transfer and numerous other leading personalities. Also Mal Eastick a leading Rock Blues player also has tried your picks......... web sites for both...... www. clivelendich. com. au www. maleastick. com............ both were surprised how good the picks really are... in fact astounded hat they could be so good. Doug Jansen also uses the picks on a regular basis. Clive Lendich primarily uses Tom Anderson Guitars and Mal Eastick is endorsed by Fender and uses mainly Stratocasters. Other players here made aware of the Brossard picks to date are...... Joe Travers/ Graeme Wilson/ Gary Cowling a session Bass Player here also has tried the picks and was astounded at the tonal variation when using the different picks... ie... the wooden/ the bone/ Pearl... all showed different tonal qualities. I will be passing your website around Chris....... great product.. Brossard Picks. Kind RegardsDinah Lee- Australia-How's this?! A Dutchie in Australia buying picks from a Frenchie in California!
But hey,these picks beat everything on the market.
After many experiments with, often self made, picks of many different
materials, Christophe's picks are now the only ones I'm using.
The search for TONE has been long and intense.
Now, with these gorgeously crafted picks, I have a palette of sound
variations from subtle to quite radical, for both acoustic and electric
guitars!
I have now a nice collection of them, all with their own tone and great look and feel.
I'm fortunate to have two Mammoths, my absolute favourites. Even they
have their own tone due to their variation in thickness! This goes of
course for all picks regardless of material and is certainly something
to try out and experiment with.
I've long preferred to play the round(-er) side of picks to give me more tone and less 'clicking'.
With these picks I've returned to using the pointy side. Still, I
highly recommend trying the fat side of these picks! The body and depth
of tone is astonishing, and I'm not loosing any speed! Very smooth
indeed!
I've recently replaced the brass pins with a set of Chris's
bone bridge pins on my old blond Guild. Great look, great sound
improvement.
Rests me to say that these picks are maybe a bit
more expensive than what you get at your local dealer/store, but to me,
if you care for Tone, . . . . . .
BETTER THAN MONEY IN THE BANK ! ! !
Merci beaucoup Christophe !
Bastiaan ☆ NSW Australia- Chris, I'm still jamming with the picks that I got from you, and I am still amazed. I'm using them exclusively on the new Suddenly Silence CD titled "Forever and a Day". I'll be getting more when we start touring. I've also been playing them exclusively with my solo acoustic project. If there are any guitarists out there who are looking for a way to enhance their tone without spending a fortune, I would definitely recommend trying a Brossard! You'll never buy Dunlop or any other brand again! Darren Shepherd - Suddenly SilenceTo me, the pick is extremely important. Whether it's 10 cents or 10 bucks
is a different issue, but it has to work for me or else I will hate
playing with it. I am always looking out for new interesting picks, and
these look interesting indeed. The problem with expensive picks is that
is sucks to lose them! It's so easy to misplace plectrums. There is no
scam with these kinds of picks - they are hand made, not mass-produced
- hence the price tag. I just ordered a bone and ebony pick. I have heard a lot about these.
Maybe I should have ordered a set with more variety, since there are
other materials that would be interesting to try.www.brossardpicks.com
I find I'm very picky about picks, so I'm looking forward to trying these. The pick makes a big impact on my tone, when I play.
Pick a good pick - be picky! -Robert. thefret.net
- I've given the picks a run and must say they are really, really good! They help with the attack, the tone, and they provide more control over the strings. The style and finish are equally impressive! Thank you very much for sending some my way, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is seriously into guitar! Top quality here... nothing less. -DC--The groovy Ebory Cocobollo is amazing. I'm practicing all the time since I got them one week ago. Please, stop making those great picks. I want to sleep!!! Seriously, i'm very impressed by the quality of the tone when I hit the strings with the Cocobollo. Great stuff!JM Payeur-For the second time I am not disappointed about your service, shipping and great products.The first time I bought an Ebony pick this was it I thought, I wanted nothing else.Than I lost the pick and decided to buy The Four Players, man I played for 2 hours straight.This is the truth I can't make a choice which one is the best, I think the truth is they are all good and every pick has his own sound.Man I tell you now please don't go out of business I want to collect all of them. starting with the mammoth one.Again thanks for making them you rock. As always kind regards Roque Yamil Jongste-Hi ChristopheThanks for your amazing picks! I use them fanatically, and will use them exclusivly on all upcoming videos for both Flaxwood and Shredacademy. (have turned several friends onto them too ;) Maybe you have noticed an increase in orders from Sweden :D )My fave is the bone picks, after having tried horn, ebony and lignum vitae.Richard Lundmark. Sweeden-I was in recording studio lately for my instrumental Ep album.There's still the mastering to do now but the instruments are recorded.It was a challenging experience to record instrumental music and I can tell how your picks were a precious help and really brought me confidence. I used mostly the ebony custom and horn custom for the tight riffs. The horn is still in a great condition and Im amazed how it is resistant. I played so much my ebonys that now they are used and I would need more of them.Is it possible for you to send me 2-3 horn picks and a few ebony picks (wood series). I can share the fees if you want. I just really need more picks now.I'll send you my cd when it will be really: 100% BrossardPick made. Take care-Roo Finland-Dear Christophe,I have been playing guitar for 25+ years. Over the years I must have owned around 30 guitars, although currently I am down to about eight guitars. I have owned probably ten amplifiers, which now I still have four. Up until recently I never gave any thought regarding picks. A few months ago a friend of mine left one of his picks over and I gave it a try. I was amazed on how different my sound was. Over the last month I spent a lot of time and money to experiment (fender, Dunlop, stubby, wedgie, etc.). I remembered seeing some of your picks in some old guitar magazines of mine and I ordered some of them. I received them today and I just had to write you right away. Your picks are magnificent! My rig sounds better than ever and the comfort of holding your picks is unbelievable. They are big and sturdy and they don't slip out of my hands. Your picks can only be compared to a fine bow of a violin. They are like no other picks, other picks shouldn't even be called picks compared to the product you make. I will certainly be ordering more of your picks for two reasons. One, because I want to try all of them (and I hope your customs that I want get back in stock) and second, when my friends come over to jam they will no doubtably dissapear. Thanks for such a great piece of gear (these picks of yours aren't an accesory, they are a big part of the rig),Adam C. Storfer-Wenge is great! Great tone with distortion, the definition of each notes in the chord is incredible. The Mother-of-Pearl is really good for country with the twangy sound that it produces. By the way, I'm teaching in a city which the name happens to be... Brossard AND this year is their 50th anniversary.JM Payeur-Hey Guys- Heard alot of great things about your picks! Thanks for checking me out and for the add, your support and friendship are truly appreciated! Rock on…~Stan Hinesley Pickups-I got the picks! Thank you so much for the extra keychain and the Bone Pick! I cant tell you how much I appreciate you doing that.....that was a wonderful thing to do.I tried all of them out and they work beautifully! I first tried them on my Flamenco and it gave the sound a whole new crispness that I have been looking for but was unable to get from the typical celluloid pick. I have one made of stone, some sort of agate, and it was clse to what I wanted but only good for a couplle of notes as it would slip out of my fingers. Your grooved design is just perfect and not only can I hang onto the pick , but it gives me great control! I absolutly love them......you just won another customer and advocate for these! I will be collecting much more of these!Thank You,,Rodney Tod- Item as expected. Nice workmanship! Thanks I've been picking for 40 years now, playing everthing from country to Hendrix. Nothing has given me the speed and tones I can get with Brossard's picks. The different woods and materials do indeed allow me to get different tones from the same guitars. Your picks have really been the final part for me in tailoring my sound."
John M. CT - DEAR CHRISTOPHE,received picks today in mail ive just played guitar for the last 2 hours.love your picks they are a fine work of art hands down the best ive ever seen.will be saving money to buy more in the future.till then peace. THANK YOU............. Tony Payne- These picks are by far the best picks available. What a great way to personalize your playing. Wonderful craftsmanship and idea. I used to use a medium pick, and now I can't go back.....just doesn't feel right. The abalone is killer.Paul - Memphis - Hey i just wanted to congradulate your product once again. Tone comes through evreything from your fingers to your strings to the wetherd neck that binds them down to the Earth that grounds you. Befor all the "texture" I could use to control my strings were finger, thumb and nail or generic pick. Now for the 1st time I feel I have choice with a selection that can contour my sound. I also build guitars, so I choose EVRYTHING! Now ya'll gave me choice.Charlie from Austin, Texas - I have been ordering custom guitar picks and am very pleased with thequality and craftsmanship employed in the making of these functionalworks of art. I almost hate to play with them, but they sound and work sowell that I don't think I will ever use anything else. You've got a lifetime customer in me. thanks again.
Dennis Flock - Hi Chris, Its Michelle. I just got my pick earrings and they are so awesome! Thank you so much for making me a pair. I love them! I seriously feel so lucky to have them. I checked out your website and its so cool. Your business looks like its doing amazing.Thank you so much.
Michelle - These picks are works of art! I can't decide which one I like best!!!!- I now own 12-14 of Chris' picks, and love them all!I have a hard time choosing which pick I want to use next!Any guitarist not availing himself of one of these picks is depriving himself of a truly unique experience.The Groovy Series has picks sent directly from guitar Heaven.Every player who tries one of these falls in love with them.You can tell a lot of care and pride goes into making each piece.It doesn't matter what you are using now. These picks are phenomenal! Gary- Every guitar player I know who checks out these picks can't believe the sound!!!-Your picks rock!!!! I just did a festival in Italy and your picks are the only gear I carry with me. LOL! I don't trust the baggage handlers with them. Keep up the good work!Mark - I love this little case and 2 picks! -My son's band "Unceremonius" Loves the picks I got last year and I'll be ordering more very soon. So happy to see you are really growing. Fantastic workmanship. Keep up the good work and I'll be recommending you. Carol- Just what the doctor ordered - I just got my Cocobolo contour pick and I really love it. I had bought some other wood picks from woodenpicks. com, and I was really disappointed with the machining and finish. Your picks have a much nicer fit and finish. My compliments to you for all your hard work. I’ve gotten a friend who also plays, and I just showed him my new pick. He was blown away by the beauty and functionality. So, I’ll be ordering some for him soon too. I’ll try to get my guitar teacher hooked next. D -I have played mostly jazz and blues for over 25 years semi-professionaly and like harder picks. I've traditionally used metal picks and thick nylon picks because I like ridgid picks for fast articulate lead work. I decided to try out a few of the Brossard picks because I don't like the "twank" of metal picks and plastic picks are... well their plastic. The Brossard picks blew me away. The tone of the wood on the strings is a match made in heaven. Each different type of wood has a different tone. I've discovered that the picks are like guitars... they each have a different sound. I use specific picks for certain songs. They just sound right."D.Floyd. TX -Chris,the new pick arrived today! Thanks for the quick service, and thanks for the pick tin as well. I will continue preaching the gospel of your work, they are wonderful picks.Even if I didn't play I would buy them, just to have them...playing is a bonus!Dale Bodmer- The pick was beautiful!
