Jim Dunlop Primetone® Triangle Grip Pick 1.5MM - 3 Pack

I like the feel/grip and sound of the picks. They definitely catch and release the strings more predictably than most. The sound is mellow and fairly dark. For my taste they’re great for rhythm playing but when playing melodies they don’t produce a clean cutting tone. For most types of playing they’re great, particularly at their price point. For those looking for a Blue Chip-like pick these aren’t them. If I want a clear clean tone and a pick that allows me to play faster and smoother than any other pick I’ll always grab my TAD40 or 50 and leave the Primetones at home. "For those looking for a Blue Chip-like pick these aren’t them." OK, so I may very well be wrong. I just got done playing a bluegrass set on my D-18 with a new set of Martin Retro Bluegrass strings using a 1.4mm version of this pick - the guitar sounded amazing and keeping tempo was no more effort than a BC pick. Depending on a person's taste and gear setup, the Primetone may meet all your needs. Clearly at a more budget friendly price too!

Okay, fellow Amazon shopper... if you are just beginning your adventure with guitar or mandolin, you will be shocked to learn that some folks pay $35 or more for a single guitar pick. (Blue Chip and Tone Slab are two of the popular high-dollar options, and they truly are phenomenal quality. Go buy one of those when you turn pro.) The Jim Dunlop Primetone family of picks offers a variety of shapes, sizes, and thicknesses. I like this shape and thickness for my mandolin. The edges are nicely beveled for smooth action against the strings, and the thickness allows the sound to come from the strings rather than from the pick flopping around. You might also like the Golden Gate "Clown Barf" picks. They are equally nice sounding, and they don't hide in the bottom of your instrument case! Blue Chip and Tone Slab picks definitely have their place, but if you are on a budget (who's not these days?) the Primetone and Golden Gate picks are excellent alternatives for a FRACTION of the price.

Great pick for bass guitar.

(This applies to bluegrass/old-time/fiddle tunes, etc. on a Martin.) I like the engraved logo grip. It slips much less than my Fender heavy picks (which I've used for a decade or two.) The triangle shape is too large for me, The 1.5mm is too thick. (I've just ordered a standard shape of the same type (Primetone sculpted), 1mm thick, to try that.)

What pick you choose is subjective and personal. I find these very comfortable with nice tone and thickness.

This is my favorite mandolin pick. So easy to hang onto, it doesn't move in your hand no matter how fast you play

As a mandolin picker with large hands, I find this pick helpful. I was using a hefty Wegan but I might actually prefer this pick. I only wish it had a little more girth with a thumb indent but I might just need to get used to its thinner profile after the Wegan. It does have a nice grip. I recommend it!

Perfect for mandolin.

I play Dreadnought guitars with these large triangle picks. I thought they would be too big, but they're fine. The first picks I have owned that stay put in my finger grip.

Zeer goed plectrum voor de mandoline. 👍👍

These are great for a beginning mandolin player. They are grippy on both sides, well made, durable, and make a great tone. I noticed a difference working with these than the other picks I tried. I'm not yet good enough to justify getting a Blue Chip, but wanted something more fun to use with better grip than the cheapie ones from the music store. These fit the bill. Definitely recommend.

Was soll ich sagen, ich hab recht große Finger, daher mag ich fürs Strumming eher größere Pleks... Dieses liegt mir gut in der Hand und es klingt tatsächlich gut für meine verwöhnten Ohren. Ich hab schon so viele Pleks in der Hand gehabt, aber nur ein V-Pick vom Thomann ist vom Klang so ähnlich, aber ein wenig schriller. Dieser passt mir momentan am liebsten, selbst wenn es sich mal dreht, was mir nicht mehr so oft passiert, ist es ja abgesichert. Gut zum üben für Anfänger die bisher nur ganz dünne Picks fürs Strumming nehmen. Klanglich für mich recht ausgewogen, die Leute die es bisher gehört haben lobten den Sound auch.

ピックのエッジが使い込んで丸まったあの感じに研磨されており、最初から馴染んだ感じで弾けます。
