1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Tortex picks in a triangle shape, 1.0 mm, six per pack. A medium-heavy pick with three usable tips per pick.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who wear out one corner and want two spares
- Rhythm and lead on electric at a medium-stiff gauge
- Bass players who want more surface area to hold
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want a small pick tucked between two fingers
- Very light strumming where a thin pick sounds better
- Anyone who dislikes matte, chalky pick surfaces
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 tips. Rotate to a fresh corner as one wears instead of replacing the pick.
Detail 03
Tortex material
Matte, slightly chalky surface that grips dry fingers. Warmer attack than harder plastics like Ultex.
Detail 04
Larger body than standard picks
More to hold onto. Helps if you drop standard 351-shape picks or have larger hands.
Detail 05
6-pack
Eighteen usable tips across the pack given the triangle shape.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Blue is Dunlop's color code for 1.0 mm Tortex — check gauge, not color
- 02Triangle picks feel bulky if you're used to a standard teardrop
- 03Tortex gets slippery once your hands sweat — the matte grip is dry-hand grip
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 1.0 mm good for strumming?
It works, but it's stiff. You'll get a stronger, more percussive strum than a thin pick. Many strummers prefer .60 to .88 mm.
02Why a triangle instead of a normal pick shape?
Three usable tips per pick and a bigger surface to grip. The playing tip is broader than a standard pick, which softens the attack slightly.
03Can I use these for bass?
Yes. 1.0 mm is on the light side for bass but workable, and the larger body gives you something to hold against thick strings.
04How does Tortex compare to celluloid?
Tortex is grippier when dry, wears more slowly, and has a slightly softer attack. Celluloid is smoother and brighter but chips sooner.
