Detail 01
Heavy gauge
Stiff pick barely flexes, so attack is firmer and note articulation is more defined than with thin picks.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen heavy celluloid teardrop jazz picks in shell pattern. For players who want a small, stiff pick and buy them by the handful.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Jazz and lead players who want a compact pick
- Fast alternate picking where a smaller tip helps
- Keeping spares in every case, bag and pocket
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Strummers who want flex and a wider grip surface
- Players who prefer nylon or Ultem feel
- Anyone wanting thin picks for acoustic rhythm
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
Celluloid material
Warmer, slightly softer attack than nylon or acetal, with a familiar slick surface that wears down over time.
Detail 03
Teardrop jazz shape
Smaller body and tighter point than a standard 351. Less pick sticking out, more control, less to grip.
Detail 04
Dozen pack
Twelve picks means you can lose most of them and still play. Celluloid wears, so volume matters.
Detail 05
Shell pattern finish
Cosmetic tortoise-look print. No effect on tone or grip beyond standard smooth celluloid.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Smooth celluloid can slip in sweaty hands. No grip texture here.
- 02Picks only, no tin or storage case included.
- 03Small jazz size feels very different if you're used to a 351.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What thickness are these?
They're a heavy gauge celluloid pick. D'Andrea doesn't print a millimeter number on the 358 heavy, but expect a stiff pick that doesn't flex under normal picking.
02Are these good for beginners?
The small jazz shape takes adjustment. If you're learning to strum, a standard 351 in medium is easier to hold and control.
03Do celluloid picks wear out fast?
Faster than nylon or Ultem. The tip rounds off with heavy playing, which is part of why they come by the dozen.
04Will these work on bass or acoustic?
Yes. Heavy gauge suits bass and works on acoustic, though many acoustic strummers prefer something thinner for a looser feel.
