Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen Tortex picks at .88 mm in green. Medium-heavy gauge, small enough quantity to try the thickness before committing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Electric players who want firm attack on single notes
- Trying .88 mm before buying a 72-count box
- Rock and blues rhythm where you want the pick to push back
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Light acoustic strummers — .88 mm is stiff across chords
- Players who lose picks weekly; the bulk box costs less per pick
- Anyone wanting a mix of gauges to compare

Detail 04
Standard shape

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many picks is one dozen?
12, all .88 mm green.
02Is .88 mm considered medium or heavy?
Medium-heavy. Stiffer than typical medium picks, softer than a true heavy. A common landing spot for electric players.
03Should I get this or the .60 mm?
.88 mm for single notes and firmer attack, .60 mm for loose acoustic strumming. This dozen is the cheaper way to test.
04Can I use these for bass?
Yes. .88 mm has enough stiffness to drive bass strings, though some bass players prefer going heavier still.
