Goodbye, Altoids tins. Hello, “Taylor Koa-Top DarkTone Series Pick Tin – Collector’s Edition” with tailor-made touches of a master’s hand. The koa top and leather insert showcase nine samples of DarkTone Picks offering a “wider range of musical colors with new materials that emphasize different parts of the frequency range.” From the two most popular Blue & Ruby Swirls to the most recent addition Ivoroid, these picks “coax richer, warmer tones” and “subtle differences in sounds.” While this sampler is not an all-inclusive collection of DarkTone picks, it contains seven 351s and one 346 and 651 of four types:
Picks 1-2: Ivoroid 351 and 346
Picks 3-4-5-6: Thermex Ultra 351 in four colors
Pick 7: Thermex Pro Tortoise Shell 351
Picks 8-9: Taylex 351 and 651 Smoke Gray

Very quick delivery & was much better than I expected it to be. Stunning pick tin with lovely engraving, leather inlay which smells amazing & great selection of Taylor picks. Would highly recommend to everyone

Mind you, we’re talking about a can of picks here. What could be so special (and admittedly, I used to carry mine around in a Baggie)? Well, the bottom line is, that this is a simple object taken to an artistic extreme. It looks pretty. Beautiful Koa wood on top and the understated yet still prominent Taylor logo makes this yet another way to burn up a bit of extra cash in the never-ending question to uptick the bespoke meter on my favorite guitar (shown in the photos . . . and one on which Thalia also did a lot of custom work for me earlier). The picks inside run the full gamut of Taylor offerings and they’re nice to have . . . but in the end, it is the elegance of the box itself that makes this a heirloom-quality keeper.

I chose this item because I like teardrop picks the container is nice, but unfortunately I don't have a Taylor guitar. Thank you very much.

Products came promptly and am very happy with the quality. Definitely will order more products.
