Dunlop Nylon Standard 0.73mm

Need a standard pick? Order these. They're inexpensive, work well and last reasonably long.

I do like the way the Dunlop picks respond to the strings. The taper on the edges of the pick allow you to be as aggressive or as light as you want to be. Picking is nice with these, but if you are only a picker, maybe this isn't the one for you.

Plenty of weights, not a great selection of colors, but hey, its a pick. What do you want?

I prefer the picks with the grippier texture, but these work just fine if you find yourself needing a pick. Simple. Functional. Does what it's supposed to.

There ya go.

Back when I was learning guitar I used to buy those orange plectrums (colour was later changed to yellow) that featured an embossed figure of a guy dressed in a kilt and the word 'Scotty' just beneath. This design also helped to prevent the picks from slipping out of my fingers as well. I used to find them particularly good for strumming, something about them made them feel just right in my hand. Sadly, at one point I couldn't find any more new 'Scotty' plectrums and unwillingly started using other stuff. But I loved them so much that I was always on the lookout for some new ones or at least something similar.

Fast forward twenty years and while browsing the Thomann website I come across these Dunlops. I'm looking at the images, they do have a familiar look... then something clicks: these might be very similar to the old 'Scottys'. I got them and they surely are similar. Can't describe them as being identical to the old ones, because the kilted Scotty is no longer there, but the feeling is just the same. So happy to be able to use them again, and although nowadays I prefer much thicker picks, I still use these on 12 string guitars. They feel just right.
