plectrum dilemma
I'm looking for a plectrum that will not break easily and yet will deliver a crisp clear sound ..
the nylon plectrums last long but the sound they produce are pretty muffled. the taylor picks produce a nice sound but they break easily solutions anyone?

I like the Clayton Ultem picks. Haven't broken one yet and even the thicker gaues give a nice crisp clear sound and more volume than others I've tried. I got mine from Musicians Friend and First Quality Music Supply carries them.

Fender medium. They wear down but I have never broken one and I'm heavy handed.

I use the Clayton Gold Ultem's .80
Try some different guages. I rarely break strings and I attack the guitar pretty briskly. I prefer the tone of these picks and they don't wear out quickly or break. |

Clayton Ultems in 1.07 or 1.20 if I can find them again.

I like the Dunlop Tortex orange (63mm I believe). They don't sound to dull to me.

Real tortise shell (if you can find them) is still the top choice among many in the bluegrass crowd. I've got one - sounds great, it is pretty heavy.
Other than that, I like the Dunlop picks too - I use the green ones (forget what the exact thickness is).
