Detail 01
.73 mm thickness
Middle of the range. Enough flex to soften hard strums, enough stiffness to keep single notes defined.

DunlopTortex Pitch Black Standard Guitar Picks 1 Dozen .73 mm
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen Dunlop Tortex picks in .73 mm, black. Medium gauge for players who want some flex on strums but still get clear single notes.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who switch between strumming and picking in the same song
- Anyone who drops picks and wants twelve in the case
- Electric or acoustic rhythm work needing controlled flex
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fast alternate picking and lead work; heavier gauges flex less
- Heavy strummers who want maximum give; .60 mm and under bends more
- Players who prefer the slick feel of celluloid or nylon
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
Tortex material
Matte, slightly chalky surface that grips dry fingers. Wears down by flaking rather than going glassy.
Detail 03
Standard shape
The common 351 teardrop outline. Fits most pick holders, clips and wallets without issue.
Detail 04
Pitch Black finish
Cosmetic. Harder to find on a dark stage or in a gig bag than the usual color-coded Tortex.
Detail 05
1 dozen
Twelve picks. Enough to stash spares in a case, on a mic stand and in a pocket.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Tortex gauges are normally color-coded; these are all black, so keep gauges separated.
- 02Picks wear. Expect rounded tips after heavy strumming and rotate through the pack.
- 03Thickness preference is personal. Try a mixed gauge pack first if unsure.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is .73 mm thick or thin?
Medium. Thin picks run .50 to .60 mm, heavy picks .88 mm and up. .73 mm is the common all-purpose middle.
02How many picks come in the pack?
Twelve, all .73 mm, all black.
03Are these good for acoustic strumming?
Yes. The gauge flexes enough to keep strums from sounding harsh while still driving the strings on an acoustic.
04Do they get slippery with sweaty hands?
Tortex has a dry, matte surface that holds grip better than glossy celluloid, though no untextured pick is fully slip-proof.
