Detail 01
1.14 mm thickness
Stiff. Almost no flex, so attack is immediate and the string moves more than the pick does.

D'AndreaShell Celluloid 355 Triangle Picks - One Dozen Purple 1.14 mm
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen 1.14 mm celluloid triangle picks in shell purple. For players who want a thick pick with three usable points per pick.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bassists and acoustic strummers who wear through pick tips fast
- Players with larger hands who lose small picks
- Anyone wanting three playable corners before retiring a pick
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fast lead players who prefer a small, thin, flexible pick
- Players who want zero-flex grip — celluloid is slick when hands sweat
- Anyone chasing warm, soft strumming — 1.14 mm is stiff and loud
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
Triangle shape
Three identical playing corners. Rotate as one wears, so a single pick lasts roughly three times as long.
Detail 03
Celluloid material
Bright, snappy attack with a distinct click on the string. Slicker in the fingers than nylon or delrin.
Detail 04
Triangle body size
Larger gripping surface than a standard 351. Easier to hold, harder to palm-tuck mid-song.
Detail 05
355 pattern
The wide equilateral triangle outline, not a rounded teardrop. Broader contact patch on the string.
Detail 06
One dozen
12 picks in the pack, so losses in a gig bag or on stage do not end the night.

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 is on the stiff end for strumming. You will get a louder, more percussive attack and less give. Players who want softer chord washes usually stay under 0.80 mm.
02Why a triangle instead of a standard shape?
Three usable corners instead of one, plus more surface to grip. Trade-off is bulk — it is less discreet to hold and rotate between fingers.
03Do these work for bass?
Yes. The thickness holds up against heavier bass strings, and the larger body is easier to control with a firm grip.
04Is the purple color throughout the pick?
It is a shell-pattern celluloid in purple, so the coloring runs through the material rather than sitting as a printed surface layer.
