I have been using the Martin Medium 73mm Picks for about a year and I find them to just feel good in my hand. When I loan one of these picks to someone in session, they do not want to give it back. I play every day and three to four times a week with groups of musicians on stage and at Community gatherings. I have done a lot of playing over the past 49 years and I have found that a good pick is as important as knowing the correct way to hold it. I play country, bluegrass, rock, gospel and a little jazz on an assortment of acoustic and acoustic electric guitars and mandolins. This pick is stiff enough to flat pick bluegrass on an acoustic guitar and mandolin, play lead on a Stratocaster and soft enough to strum most anything else. I have used Dunlop Gel Medium Picks for years and still like them. But so far the Martin Mediums have worked the best for me on my guitars and mandolin. I highly recommend them to the young and old from beginners to pros. For the person that was disappointed in Martin for changing the material used in making their picks, try the Dunlop Medium Gel picks. The Dunlop Gel Picks last a little longer than the Martins and the materials are sturdy.

Comments about Martin #1 Guitar Pick Pack:
Tried the Heavy picks and they are very, very dark. I don't think I'll be using them at all. The Mediums however are perfect for me. They sound nothing like the heavy version. The closest thing to these medium picks are .73 Tortex but the Martins are more sparkly and have more bite if that's what you like.

Comments about Martin #1 Guitar Pick Pack:
I've been using the thin Martin picks for a long time and am well satisfied with them. I've found that these picks have a good "feel" to them and give me the sound I want. It seems to me that the thin picks give a more brilliant sound, but at the same time, they allow the guitar to be played with very good volume. Some of the playing I do is bluegrass. The picks seem to hold up very well too. I haven't had to buy any new ones for years and I still have several new ones left from the last time I bought them. I use medium gauge Martin phosphor bronze strings on my Martin HD-28 guitar. These picks also seem to work well with Martin light guage strings. I never put anything heavier than medium gauge strings on my guitar. The "Herringbone" guitars like mine have lighter scalloped bracing in the top, so heavy strings shouldn't be used on them. Overall, I'm very well satisfied with these Martin picks. So far, I've found that all the Martin products I've bought were very good.

Comments about Martin #1 Guitar Pick Pack:
The medium picks sound great. Bend just the perfect amount. Some medium picks are too floppy, these are just the right about of floppy. You get that great sound as your pick strums the acoustic guitar (or electric), and you have complete control over it.

Comments about Martin #1 Guitar Pick Pack:
i've been searching out martin picks ever since fender changed the material/feel of their picks some 20 years ago. now with the last few dozen martin picks i purchased, i'm disappointed to discover they've done the same thing . . . gone to a different material (cheaper to manufacture i'm sure . . . the american way). now i'm on another search to find a pick with the old feel. sad.
Comments about Martin #1 Guitar Pick Pack:
I've tried these Martin Picks like many others over the years and I will say that for casual acoustic strumming or picking, the mediums and heavys are not bad. I don't personally use them but they are a good quality picks that deserve to bear such a legendary guitar brand name. However, the Mediums don't last as long as the Heavys but that usually goes without saying. If I had to use these or if they were all of a sudden, the only picks out there available to use, then I would go with the Medium 346 shaped tri-tips for acoustic playing, and the Heavy 346 shaped tri-tips for electric six string and bass. I would also stock these in plentiful amounts because lets face it, celluloid picks normally wear out faster than picks made of nylon, delrin, Ultex, and Acetal.
Comments about Martin #1 Guitar Pick Pack:
People often don't realize how much a pick impacts the tone and attack on an acoustic instrument. Also, many manufacturers produce picks with little consideration to acoustic players. I play dunlop gators for electric stuff, but the edge and the overall material is just too shavey for acoustic playing. I tried tortex, but the desirable (to some people) clack they produce didn't sound right to me. Out of the other brands I tried, the martins were by far my favorites.The idea behind the perfect pick for acoustics is one that does as little as possible to affect the tone of the instrument, and these picks do that. They have a rounded, hard-but-low friction edge that just slides off the string as opposed to raking it. A reviewer stated that the thins broke too easily, but you'll get that with any brands' thin picks, especially if you strum hard, which you have to in order to get volume. I recommend the mediums. They're heavy enough to play leads, yet light enough to get a nice crisp strum, and the added density reduces the chance of breaking.

I got the thin ones and they brake way too easily. They are "good" at best. Nothing special.
