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!

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

It's not a Blue Chip but it is a nice pick. It doesn't stick to my fingers like an acrylic or Blue Chip pick does but at the price I've experimented by drilling holes in some to help the grip and ordered the textured models like this one.

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.

I'm very happy with the quality of the pics, especially for the price. Added volume and tone to my acoustic playing. These were the 1.5mm, have since ordered the 1.4mm to check out the difference in sound. I purchased a Dragon Heart Pure pick after hearing someone rave about them. Total cost for one Dragon Heart was around $23.50, its going back in the mail today for a refund as it performed poorly compared to these Dunlops which were 3 for $16.12 total. The 1.4mm I ordered are $13.90 total for 3

I use these Dunlops (1.5 thickness) with all three of my mandolins. They are on the stiff side, which I like, and get a consistently good tone. The grip is great--I haven't had one go flying off yet.

The picks are too pointed for me for articulate playing but are of good quality. BE AWARE! If you decide to order these, the return policy will provide you with reasons to be unhappy. You will a) have to print out a return label b) cut it to size c) purchase a mailer to put the picks in d) tape the label to the mailer. e ) use the United States Postal Service to send them back. A h*** of a lot of time and trouble for $14 worth of picks. Do what you want, but I will NEVER do business with them again. And as for the picks? They are in the trash.

I bought these around the same time as I bought some other picks for my mandolin. There was no comparison. These felt better, produced a better tone, and made tremolo picking a little easier for me. The textured surface helps to keep a solid grip but I noticed a little tenderness after a long practice session. I'm hoping it's just another callus to build up. Even if not, these picks are still worth it.

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。

OK so imagine... best gear all set up to play the ultimate gig. Perfectly tweaked tube amp, flawlessly crafted guitar, now reach for... a bread bag plastic tab... Plastic is plastic... No wait that's not right. After years of strumming with various items and materials, I've finally found the perfect guitar pick. Dunlop, you are to be commended. These picks are, without question, the very best one could wish for. The attack and tone achieved are superb. And the grip with the raised brand. Excellent! Well done Mr. Dunlop... 😃
