Dunlop Flow Nylon

Available in May. Being a fan of both the Flow and OG Jazz III’s, I’m pretty stoked. This might be “the one!”

I've never liked nylon picks but I'd probably give it a go in a lighter flex. Do you think the edges will hold up?

I love Flow 2.00 but these might be a nice change of pace. Think I'll try them out.

I seem to get more mileage out of the nylon Jazz III’s than the Ultex or Tortex.

I wear out picks extremely fast! Back when I played celluloid, I’d go through about a half dozen a night.

It’s just that the regular Jazz III’s are too small and the Jazz III XL’s are too large for me. The Flows are perfect, but I don’t really care for the “chirp.” I’ve been waiting for them to do a nylon variant, so hopefully these will do the trick.

1.14mm and 1.5mm here. I’ve been really digging the Tortex Flows.

Haven't tried Flow in that material yet, I use the standard Ultex.
Before Flow I used the standard Tortex 1.14 for years.

I find the Tortex Flows to be less “slippery” on the strings than the Ultex once they wear in a little. They still have that signature Tortex tone.

I do like the Tortex tone a lot, it's warmer than the Ultex -- but I find the 2.0 Ultex grips very well and it has a bright attack which I've grown to love. I just noticed the 4.2mm 420 Flow -- hmmm, that has me interested as well, plus I don't think I've ever used a pick that thick.

I just bought a dozen of the Flow Tortex. I like them. They are picks.

Nylon belongs on tents, ripcords, and ladies stockings.

I am trying the 1.35mm. Those chalky black ones? Love me some thikk pikks.

I need to try those white ones now. Those the 1.5mm?

Hope it's similar to Duralin on the Black Ice Dunlops, the tone is good but I prefer the tip and grip on the Flows much more.

Yep.

I go through about 5-7 to test when practicing to see which is right for any specific song

Is nylon less chirpy than tortex?

In my experience, yes, compared to the Ultex and Tortex.

OK. I'll try them. Love jazz iii and Flow.
