Tiny in physical size of pick. Good value if that's the kind you like.

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2017

This was a good value, but I didn't realize how tiny they were. I bought these as a Father's day gift, and I knew they came in different strengths, but had no idea the physical size could be so different. I guess I assumed that "standard" kind of meant not small, nor big. Since I don't play music myself, I just wish there would have been a way for me to know this. I always shop around, and read reviews. They're opened now, tho, because he had lost his last one, and since I made him wait until Father's day to open these new ones, I didn't want him to wait any longer to play. He said these would have been a nice pack if they weren't so small.

Great Picks!

I use a flat pick between my thumb and index finger and I pluck with my remaining 3 fingers. The Dunlop Tortex .73mm picks suit my needs just fine.
Their shape and size feel good in my hands and for me the .73mm pick is stiff enough for double picking while not feeling too stiff.
Also, lets face it..... we all drop our picks once in a while, and when that happens the bright yellow color of these picks makes them easy to find!

Thanks for reading,

Very sturdy and easy to grip

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2010

Color: .73mm | YellowStyle: 12 PackVerified Purchase

I was looking for something that was able to bend a bit but not fall out of shape or stay bent after much use and these are great. They have good tension but still sound nice with my acoustic and the grip is great. It's almost like a microscopic layer of felt is on these. It sucks when your hands are cold and the pick keeps slipping out of your fingers...you don't want to keep licking your fingers or breather warm air on them and these are easy to hold onto no matter the condition.

Robust pick with a helpful texture

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2012

Color: .73mm | YellowStyle: 12 PackVerified Purchase

Note: this review is for the yellow .73mm picks.

Many reviewers have expressed concern regarding the longevity of their picks. I must admit that as a beginner with relatively little free time to play, I don't have much of a problem with my picks wearing down or breaking. I became interested in these picks, however, because I found myself stuck with some ultra-thin nylon picks with good grip and some thicker standard picks that were very slippery. I wanted the best of both worlds for playing my electric: something with mid-range thickness and a good grip. The reviews indicated that these Tortex picks indeed had a good grip, so I bought them. My conclusion is that the grip is certainly better than average, but it's not as strong as I expected. To my eyes, the product image made the pick look slightly textured, but it's actually quite smooth. What sets it apart from many picks, though, is that it is not glossy, so it does stay in your hand pretty well even if you sweat a bit. The turtle and text on the pick will smudge pretty quickly, but that's not a problem for me. GO-DPS, who usually sells these picks, has consistently offered cheap prices and reliable service.

The only thing I dislike about this product is... it's so expensive! But....I'm biased. I have been playing for 35 years and I remember when I would buy strings....the music store would throw in some of these picks for free. I miss those days. Played in touring bands with this pick. It's my go to pick.

Only Picks I Use for Playing Acoustic - Strumming Style Play

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2014

Color: .73mm | YellowStyle: 12 PackVerified Purchase

I always keep a lot of these on hand. These are the only picks I use when playing my acoustic guitars (strumming style & vocals). Since I play for several hours nearly every day I have a tendency to go through a lot of picks. These definitely last longer for me than other brands (similar weight) that I have used. For example, I can "round-off" the end off a Musician's Gear pick or a Fender pick in about an hour or so of playing and seem to get much more mileage out of these picks. The weight is great for my style of playing. They seem more durable than other brands. They're inexpensive and since I play a lot of hours I always keep lots of these on hand. I love 'em, use them daily, and rely on them !!!

Dunlop Tortex Standard .73mm 12 Pack Picks

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2008

Verified Purchase

Nice picks. I bought these (the yellow) and the green ones which are a little thicker. I prefer these to the green ones. I am used to playing with the fender medium picks. These yellow dunlops are closer to fender mediums... maybe slightly thicker. Best guess is that they function in btwn a fender medium and heavy.

All in all a nice pick. Doesn't slip like the fenders and it "feels" like i can pick scales better. I think I will stick with this brand for a while and maybe even try the set that is one step thinner just to see.

Not much to say it's a guitar pick

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2021

Color: .73mm | YellowStyle: 12 PackVerified Purchase

I finally saved up for months and bought a 12pk, I still have 11 left that I guard with my life in a lock box. I'm on a full-time musician's budget and local gigging musicians ain't got a raise since the 50's. I need a better price. See what you can do so I can stop getting my picks from the dirty stages I play on.

A pick is just a pick, right?

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2015

Color: .73mm | YellowStyle: 12 PackVerified Purchase

I have been playing bass for better than 20 years. When I first started playing with a pick, it was because I wanted the crisp, bright tones. Over the years, I tried picks made from a lot of different thicknesses and materials. When I first found these, I liked how they would last. Since then, my playing has continued to evolve, my skills becoming more refined. I don't use brute force in my playing like I did when I was younger. A thinner pick allows more finesse to come through. Also, most guitarists will agree, a thinner pick can be used to play faster. In addition, these have a slight texture to these that helps maintain your grip.
Most guitarists who like a medium pick should like the way these play, and last.
If you play bass with a pick, this thickness will play like a thin pick. Again, good for finesse and speed.
Since I got these as an Amazon Prime Add-On Item, that makes these a real bargain, since most places will charge $.50 to $.80 each pick.

Beware The String Store

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2020

Color: .73mm | YellowStyle: 12 PackVerified Purchase

I absolutely love these picks and highly recommend them but this seller, The String Store, sold me a 12 pack of Dunlop Tortex .73 Yellow picks for twice the cost that others are selling them for. BEWARE of this store! ****Yes this is totally my fault for not paying attention before hitting the “buy now” button.****. When I went to return them The String Store was going to charge me more to ship them back than it was to buy a 12 pack from other sellers!!! Again BEWARE! And again, totally my fault for buying these from this seller. I will keep them and enjoy them, then my next purchase will be from someone else.
