The NP2 is made in America from the best nickel silver available, providing a smooth, comfortable, and fully adjustable fit, as well as a brilliant, vintage-American sound. Perfect for that bright, finger picking sound on an acoustic or plucky bite on a banjo.  New, National NP2 (.025" gauge) nickel/silver finger pick with a smooth and virtually wear resistant Cobalt plating on the outside playing surface. Not only do these last, they do not drag or squeak on the strings, resulting in faster playing & cleaner sound. NASA has been using Cobalt plating on metal parts for years to reduce friction, now you can too.
