    Looking to find triangular plectrums as used to be sold in Waltons etc with each of the three points a different thickness. Plectrums were like three-pointed stars, with one of the sides serrated (which could be great for odd strumming effects). They were flexible plastic with a 'grip' in the centre (cross-hatching) so they wouldn't slip from grip. Waltons don't have them any more. But someone might know what they're even called or where to find them? Cheers

    I use these exclusively in blue.

    Goodwin's Music on Capel street are the only shop in Dublin
    that I've found that stock them.
    Or online as above is the other way to get them

    Many thanks, will try Goodwins (a great music shop) next day I'm in town. (It always strikes me as odd that so many of the various plectrum designs are 'gloss' finished: most of mine end up in space after a couple of seconds!
