DUNLOP FLOW NYLON PICK
The Flow Nylon Pick from Dunlop combines tradition and innova- tion to enhance technique and performance. Dunlop started with a custom blend of nylon that enhances the design of the Flow Pick shape. Its sharp tip will hold its shape when players dig in, allowing them to hit every note with precision while delivering the round warmth and smooth, quiet attack that nylon is known for.
