Dunlop tortex

When did they sop making the .96mm pink ones?

I've used these for years and suddenly can't get em anymore. One website says the were discontinued in 2006 but I know I bought a pile about a year ago. Unless there was a dealer with a mountain if them.

Some how the 1 mm are too thick.

Might have to resort to sandpaper .......

I got 100 custom ones made by steve clayton picks; it was 40 usd for 100 and you can pit your own logo on them. They do all the colours/sizes - it's called deltrex or something, not tortex, but it's identical. Heartily recommended.

Delrin?

That's the one.

I used one of those for years until I found the Jazz iii. After a very short while if found it a vast improvement. Picked notes were clearer and the tone was better.

If you are looking for other plectrums then it might be useful to know that Delrin is a trade name for acetal resin, so if you see it refered to that that way you'll know it's the same thing.

Sorry, I'm a bit of a plastics anorak.

Yep, and they use Delrin for some friction bearing parts in chronograph watch movements.

Sorry I'm a watch anorak.

They also use delrin to make zippers on outdoorswear.

The Dunlop Ultex Jazz III picks are fantastic, as are all their Ultex picks - my favourite Dunlop plastic. Before they introduced it I used nothing but Tortex greens.

Recently I've been using the thinnest picks that Hell Guitars sell, and they're my current favourites, even if they do wear a bit faster. They are all splinky splanky twangy brangy; Ultex Jazz III is the pick equivalent of striking a fine bell with a little hammer.

I liked the Ultex picks, esp the .75mm ones but Ive gone off them now. I find you can get the same type of thing with the Dunlop sharps

I swap between Ultex Jazz III 2.0s and Maxgrip Jazz IIIs. The Dunlop blokes at the Birmingham show gave me 1 of everything Jazz III shaped that I didn't already have. I like Tortex 1.35 Jazz IIIs and EJs too.. I can't play std picks any more. I used to use Herco Flex 75s but they feel massive to me now.
