D'Andrea358 Small Delrex Delrin Guitar Picks Teardrop - One Dozen Purple 1.14 mm
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen 1.14 mm Delrin picks in a small teardrop shape. Stiff and grippy, for players who want an immediate, hard attack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fast alternate picking and tremolo where flex fights you
- Palm-muted electric rhythm needing a hard, tight attack
- Players who wear through thinner picks quickly
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Light acoustic strumming, where it sounds harsh and clicky
- Beginners still learning to control pick angle
- Players who want a large pick to grip
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
Delrin (acetal)
Matte, chalky feel that grips sweaty fingers. Wears very slowly and gives a brighter, drier tone than celluloid.
Detail 03
Small teardrop shape
Little pick sticking out past your fingers, so your hand rides closer to the strings for more control.
Detail 04
One dozen
Twelve identical picks, so your feel stays consistent as you lose them.
Detail 05
Purple color coding
Color marks the 1.14 mm gauge, so you can pull the right thickness from a mixed pick jar by sight.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Stiffer than 1.0 mm; try the blue first if unsure on gauge
- 02No grip hole or added texture, just the matte Delrin surface
- 03Small teardrop puts your fingers close to the strings
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 1.14 mm too thick for strumming?
It works, but with almost no flex the strum sounds harder and more percussive. Lighter gauges blend a chord more evenly.
02How is this different from the 1.0 mm blue?
Same Delrin material and small teardrop shape, 0.14 mm thicker. Less give on strums, harder attack, slightly more effort through the string.
03Does the tip wear down?
Delrin wears far slower than celluloid. The tip will eventually round off with heavy playing, but a dozen lasts a long time.
04Good for bass?
Yes. A stiff pick drives heavy bass strings better than a thin one, though the small teardrop gives you less to hold onto.
