D'Addario10 Small Guitar Picks Medium Black Ice
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 10-pack of medium-gauge picks in a smaller shape. For players who want a tighter grip and more control than a standard pick.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who find standard-size picks too wide to control
- Stocking a gig bag so a dropped pick doesn't matter
- Splitting the difference between strumming and single-note work
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Heavy pick players who want stiffness for fast lead runs
- Players with larger hands who lose small picks in their grip
- Bassists — these are sized for guitar
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Small shape
Less pick surface between your fingers and the string. Feels more precise but easier to drop.
Detail 03
10-pack
Enough to leave a few in each case, on the amp, and in a pocket.
Detail 04
Black finish
Hard to find on a dark stage or under an amp. Keep a few somewhere you'll remember.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Picks are personal — try a mixed gauge pack if you've never settled on one
- 02No holder or tin included, just the picks
- 03If your current pick feels too floppy, go heavier instead
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is medium the right gauge to start with?
Usually yes. Medium handles both chord strumming and single notes without excelling at either, which makes it a good baseline before you decide you want thinner or thicker.
02How is a small pick different from a standard one?
Less material to hold, and less pick sticking out past your fingers. That gives more control over each stroke but a smaller target when you grab for it.
03Can I use these on an acoustic guitar?
Yes. Medium gauge works on acoustic, though many acoustic strummers prefer something thinner for a looser strum.
04Will 10 picks last long?
Depends how much you play and how hard you dig in. Most players lose picks faster than they wear them out.
