Interesting color choice to say the least. The buy now button came up on a blank page. The material Ultex is nothing ne so what's the point? Or corner, as it were. R/
I love hanging out with mandolin nerds . . . . . Thanks peeps ...
The semi-rounds are a new shape for Dunlop Ultex pics. They look like the Golden Gate shape and size. I'd like to order some but the site doesn't give me a place to buy them.
Thanks for the heads up Nick.
I use Ultex and Proplec picks so these look interesting. It'll probably be a while before they hit the UK.
I can't get the JimDunlop.com page to load, but I can get this StringsDirect page in the UK. Same 'Primetone' label - same picks as the OP was talking about?
(Edit added) In fact StringsDirect have a page with a range of Primetone polycarbonate picks. Quite interesting, too.

The webpage is loading now, and they do look interesting. I like the look of the 346-sized 1.5mm triangle model
I'm interested! I like how my Ultex pick feels in my hand, somehow more organic-feeling to me, like maybe it's a cellulose-based or something. Anyway, I'd be interested in trying out a textured one. Bookmarked under "shopping" for future reference.
These are not out, apparently: coming in March

I use the 1.14 mm Ultex for guitar and love 'em. For mandolin they get close to the Blue Chip in tone, but they just aren't quite thick enough, nor the right shape for me. I'll definitely try these. They could be the pick to displace the BC.
Can't wait to try them. The 510P sculpted look like what I usually reshape picks into. I think I'd really like the sculpted grip. I've marked my calendar to check into them in March. I hope they are out by then.
I found these on ebay just the other night ,I really like em . I thought I would sand it down a bit to rounded mistake, think Ill just leave em as theyare ,feel goodnin hand like the heft in the middle of pick like what they are made of? good pick ,after playin with for an hour or so I was real happy with the tone quality I was getting. Im gonna order some more. Not my all the time pic but a keeper.

I have a Dunlop ULTEX Jazz III it's a little pointy pick that is very very warm sounding
same material as this new Dunlop pick "514R13 Primetone 1.3mm" I would think this new Dunlop pick being rounded would be even warmer
Thanks for the post. I'm interested in the triangle 3-pack … I can wait, so I just ordered them!

I'm using the Jazz I (Dunlop) which has the rounded points. It really flows across the strings nicely. I put a piece of non-slip material on one side and about half of the pick. That makes it less slippery and easier to hold. Really like it.
I learned about these soon after the NAMM show - I think Ted Eschliman may have linked to the Dunlop site from JazzMando.com. I've been eager to try these out. I finally contacted Dunlop directly and they emailed back saying they are anticipating general availability in May.

I've used the Dunlop 500's for a while now & i really like them. Considering that the 'Primetone' picks come in a 6-pack,i think i'll order some of the 1.3mm thick ones. At that price you can't really loose - £6.99 ($11.70 US) for 6 = pretty good value,if they sound ok of course !,
