A direct descendant of our most evolved picks, the Primate features a light engraved grip and no coloring. At Howling Monkey Guitar Picks, we bring you high quality handcrafted tagua nut guitar picks & accessories. With beveled edges, proprietary design grooves and tagua’s natural ability to conform to you hands as you play – our picks provide amazingly clear tone, great feel and long life that many guitarists have said are the best picks they’ve ever played. So, what is tagua? It’s a nut that grows on palm tress in the rain forests of South America. Tagua is environmentally friendly unlike other picks that require harvesting of trees; or bones/horns of animals; or petroleum based resin. We’re simply picking nuts from a tree. Our supply of tagua is harvested through an internationally certified coalition that employs over 1,800 native South American workers, providing income to the native peoples of Ecuador and Columbia.
