Large Triangle Picks

The Large Triangle 'A' shape is Token's original and most popular pick shape. It is an equilateral triangle with a broad, stable grip area that flatpickers, bluegrass players, and acoustic guitarists reach for when they want power, control, and comfort.

Most bluegrass flatpickers prefer 1.27mm (50 thou) to 1.52mm (60 thou) for maximum stiffness and note definition at speed. The 50 thou offers a slight amount of give that some players enjoy, while 55 and 60 thou provide more authority and faster string release.

The equilateral triangle shape gives you three identical, interchangeable tips on every pick. When one tip starts to wear, rotate to a fresh tip. This effectively triples the usable life of each pick compared to single-tip designs like teardrop or jazz shapes.

The Large Triangle is wider and taller than a standard 351 teardrop shape, providing a broader grip area. The extra surface area gives players more control and a more relaxed hand position, which reduces fatigue during long playing sessions. It is the most common shape among Token's bluegrass and Americana players.

All three materials work well for acoustic guitar. Amber Ultem (A1 series) delivers bright, cutting tone ideal for lead playing. Tan PEEK (A2 series) produces warm, balanced mids great for strumming and recording. Green Torlon (A3 series) provides the most volume and richest tone for stage projection and jam sessions.

Yes. While Token's Two-Round and All-Round shapes were designed specifically for mandolin, many mandolin players prefer the Large Triangle for its broad grip and versatile playing feel. The A3-55 and A3-60 in Green Torlon are particularly popular among mandolin flatpickers.
