Detail 01
.88 mm thickness
The common middle gauge. Enough stiffness for clean single notes, still enough give to strum chords without fighting it.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen .88 mm picks in a reusable tin. Mid-heavy gauge for players who want a middle ground between strumming flex and lead stiffness.
Strong match

- Players who switch between rhythm and lead in one set
- Keeping a dozen picks organized in a gig bag
- Anyone settling on a single all-purpose gauge
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Acoustic strummers who want thin, loose flex
- Metal players who want a rigid 1.5 mm and up
- Players who need a small jazz-size tip
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
Dozen count
Twelve of the same gauge means your feel stays consistent as you lose them, rather than grabbing whatever's around.
Detail 03
Tin box included
Keeps picks together in a gig bag instead of scattered in a case pocket. Reusable after the picks are gone.
Detail 04
Black finish
Cosmetic only. Worth knowing black picks are harder to find if you drop one on a dark stage.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check the gauge against what you play now. .88 mm is a real jump from a thin pick.
- 02Picks and tin only, nothing else in the box.
- 03Tin lids can pop open in a crowded bag.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is .88 mm thick or thin?
Medium-heavy. Thin picks run around .50 mm and heavy picks start near 1.0 mm, so .88 sits just under heavy and flexes only slightly.
02Are these good for strumming?
They work, but .88 mm is stiffer than most strummers prefer. If you mainly play acoustic rhythm, something in the .60 to .73 range feels looser.
03What's the tin for?
Storage. It holds the dozen picks and keeps them from scattering in a gig bag or case pocket, and stays useful after you've gone through them.
04Will these work for bass?
Yes. .88 mm is on the lighter side for bass, where many players go 1.0 mm or heavier, but it's playable for lighter attack.
