1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen 0.88 mm Tortex picks in the small Jazz shape. For players who want a stiff, pointed tip and fast, articulate picking.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fast single-note lines where a broad tip drags
- Players who choke up close to the strings
- Keeping a consistent pick feel across a full gig
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Strummers who want a large pick to hold
- Players wanting flex and give on chords
- Anyone whose grip needs a wide, rounded body
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
Jazz shape
Smaller body and sharper point than a standard 351. More precision, less surface to grip if you have large hands.
Detail 03
Tortex
Matte, slightly chalky surface that holds grip when your hands sweat. Wears down gradually rather than chipping.
Detail 04
Pitch Black finish
Same pick, no color coding by gauge. Check the printed gauge if you mix thicknesses in a case.
Detail 05
1 dozen
Twelve picks. Enough to stash in cases, pockets and mic stands and stop hunting for one.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Picks only. No tin, case or holder included.
- 02Jazz shape is noticeably smaller than a standard pick
- 03Gauge is stamped, not color-coded, on Pitch Black
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is .88 mm thick or thin?
Medium. Thin picks run .50–.60 mm, heavy ones .1.0 mm and up. At .88 mm you get a small amount of flex on strumming but a firm attack on single notes.
02How many picks do I get?
Twelve.
03Are these good for acoustic strumming?
They work, but the small Jazz body and sharp tip favor precision over broad strumming. A larger standard shape is easier for rhythm playing.
04Do they get slippery?
The Tortex surface is matte rather than glossy, so it keeps grip better than a polished pick when your hands are damp.
