    0.6 MM Nylon Pick - same shape and size as a Dunlop Jazz III.

    If anyone out there knows where to get the pick I've described above, please let me know.

    Actually, a 0.6 MM Jazz III would be perfect, but Dunlop doesn't make one.

    Thanks!

    I think your only solution is to get a pick and cut it down and shape it like a jazz iii .Joe Pass used to take a Fender medium and snap it in half to get the size he liked.

    I don't know why people get hung up on the shape of picks, any normal size pick (not huge or tiny) will work for me.
    I don't know why people offer unsatisfactory answers to specific questions with a dash of world-weary sarcasm, but the form factor of Dunlop Flow picks isn't similar to that of the Jazz III. I don't believe the Jazz III is teardrop shaped, so that search term won't be of much use.

    As always, thanks for your advice though!

    As I said, if you must have medium gauge nylon, Dunlap or Ernie Ball picks are probably your only options.

    I've altered my original post in the interest of clarity.

    Thanks again!
