Dunlop Tortex Triangle Purple - 1.14

Experience the durability and bright, crisp tone of Tortex with a wider grip for more control. Tortex picks were first introduced in 1981 and were originally designed as a high-quality substitute for tortoiseshell. However, Jim Dunlop's groundbreaking creation evolved into much more: it established itself as a standalone product and became the new standard for all other picks.

Building on the precision, consistency, and color-coded strength system he introduced with nylon picks, Jim set out to create a pick with a clear and crisp attack, superior memory effect, high durability, and improved grip. He chose Delrin as the base material and spent over a year developing a special treatment process to unlock its full potential. This treatment process distinguishes Tortex picks from all others, providing their unique, grippy, matte surface and aggressive attack.

Eventually, Jim expanded the color-coded strength system of his previous picks and created the clear and timeless palette that has become the industry standard. Staying true to Jim's original formula, Tortex picks remain our best-selling pick line. We still produce them at the Dunlop headquarters in Benicia, California. With Tortex, Jim Dunlop started a revolution, and the world of picks was never the same again. The tortoise logo is instantly recognizable, and the vibrant Tortex colors have become a benchmark for guitarists.

Walk into a music store and ask for green or yellow picks – you will likely be offered Tortex picks in thicknesses of 0.88 mm or 0.73 mm. Countless musicians worldwide, from every genre and playing style, have chosen Tortex picks to pursue their passion.
