Picknado 2019 continues. I’ve always wondered about these. Dunlop says, “Experiment.” Has anyone experimented with these?

No, LOL. What are those bumps for? Remove Cheetos off the strings after practice?

Strangely, I’ve never owned any of those. Time to remedy that.

Re: Dunlop Tortex Fin
I used to have a handful of them back in the ‘80’s or ‘90’s. I liked the concept of three picking surfaces, but really only used the side with the ridges on occasion to simulate a kind of 12 string sound when strumming certain songs. I really couldn’t get comfortable using the other two for some reason. My wife gave my last one to a friend’s daughter a few years ago and I haven’t tried to replace them since.
To me they’re a fun little novelty.

I think it was designed in honor of the Roswell Rhoads and Carol Burnett.

Four unique edges? I see three practical edges. So Dunlop discovered a fourth dimension in picks no one can see? Must be where it goes when it gets lost.

The bumpy side is for pick scrapes. I used them for a while but they're a little awkward to hold. I alternate between Maxi Grip Jazz IIIs and Dava Picks at the moment.

I bought a pack of Dava picks to try out. After looking at them in magazines for years and being curious.

Let me know what you think of these. They’ve been on my radar for a little while too.

Not into the Dave picks. It’s a cool idea but doesn’t work for me. Regardless of the pick, I grip them all basically the same. To use the Dava properly, you have to move it around. Gripping a Dava near the back makes it more flexible, but doesn’t feel like a thinner pick to me. Also, I’ve never needed a different pick for a different part of a song.
