Tortex

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tortex is a modern plastic that was created by Jim Dunlop[citation needed] to replace tortoiseshell guitar picks after an international ban was placed on the trade of tortiseshell in the late 1970s. Tortex is registered trademark of the Dunlop Manufacturing, Inc.

Tortex picks are used by many guitar players. Tortex is one of the the most popular materials for guitar picks[citation needed].
