    Best thumb pick made hands down. Silent string noise and perfect fit on the thumb. Volume and clarity. All others pale in comparison

    consistent quality and design

    I now have 3 large BC picks One for each of my 3 favorite banjos The specs seem identical by which I mean I detect zero difference pick to pick and no change or adjustment to timing required when I move from one to the other No dreaded slippage either!!

    1L and 1M reviewed. Both enjoyable and kept!

    Posted by Keith R. on 22nd Feb 2022

    A well-engineered comfortable pick. It's obvious a lot of care is taken right down to the beveling which creates a buttery smooth feel. The 1L band runs large and that's a good thing based on their easy shapabiilty as well as reversion. The tone is dark, conversely, the BCT-1M is more open and brighter. Mainly, I attribute this to the difference in blade mass. The 1L's blade length shines well in single string style banjo. Whereas the 1M facilitates Scruggs style playing. I ordered and kept both models. Customer service went out of their way to accommodate my needs. Thank you!

    No more plastic thumb picks for me!

    Posted by Jim W. on 5th Feb 2022

    After hearing the difference in sound between my various plastic thumb picks and my new Blue Chip (BCT-1L). I cannot see why anyone would continue using plastic thumb picks. No more pick noise. No more pinching.

    actually went with JD Crowe.. the best!

    Posted by Brandon Smith on 24th May 2021

    The large was nice and a beautiful fit, but the blade was a tad long for me. Support was great and they gladly exchanged a jd Crowe pick. It has ended my quest to find a thumb pick I enjoy playing with. I *love* using my jd Crowe thumbpick!!! Feels great, perfect fit, exact rich blade length and angle.

    Great pic

    This pic is a little pricey compared to other thumb pics however I think the benefits outweigh the cost this pic stays on my thumb it doesn’t move it’s very light weight it sounds good and it looks like it’s going to be very durable I hope for this pic to last for a long time that remains to be seen but from other people that I’ve talk to I think this is the investment to make if you’re a serious banjo picker
