Every Gypsy Jazz player should own a Wegen Pick at some stage.
Handmade by Michel Wegen who made it his quest to design a pick that would accurately recreate the Gypsy Jazz sounds of Django and his hot club de France. Wegen picks are used by famous Gypsy Jazz player all over the world.
I remember struggling for months trying to learn La Pompe, my guitar teacher wanting a more percussive sound on the 2 & 4. This changed immediately when my daughter bought me a Wegen pick from America at great expense. Now I can’t play without my Wegen.
