Product Description

Inspired by Russ Carson, this thumbpick is the same one he uses.  It is constructed using a custom designed stainless steel band and a talon shaped BlueChip pick. 
 
These picks are named BCT-BR in memory of Byron Robbins. Byron was a close personal friend of BlueChip's owner Matthew Goins and an avid banjo player who lost his battle with cancer in 2018. We are proud to be able to have this small opportunity to honor him.
 
These picks are laser etched, professionally machined, and hand beveled to create the best thumb pick available.

Size compares to a standard Large thumb pick of any brand.

  1. Almost perfect! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 26th Jun 2023

    I've been using Blue Chip Thumb picks for a while now and they hold up better than any other pick. They wear down slower and they don't develop a rough edge. I do have to massage them a little to get the shape the way I like, though. The edges are too sharp so I round them over and the top curve needs to be straighter. I use a fine emery board to bring in the shape and then they're ready to go and they last like iron. No other pick I've tried lasts as long.


  2. Best Thumb pick i ever got 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 22nd Dec 2022

    This thumb pick is just awesome it glides over the strings and the band is really comfortable, this is my third one, this is to replace the one I lost last summer, my other thumb pick is a JD Crowe love that one to but a bit different.

    Posted by on 18th Dec 2022

    I heard of people talking online about these picks, so I pulled the trigger. Glad I did! I love this pick. It fits me perfectly and has a nice clear sound, and a sound that projects. Thank you. I am very happy with this purchase!


  4. Amazing! 5 Star Review

    Newer player so the design and length was perfect for me! Very comfortable, and adjustable to my thumb. Best pick ever!


  5. best thumb pick in my opinion 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 8th Jul 2022

    I have played banjo since 2011, and have gone through numerous thumb picks in that time. This is the best of both worlds. I love the fit of a metal pick and the sound of a plastic pick. This combines them into one great pick. I will never use another thumb pick!


  6. curl 4 Star Review

    Posted by on 23rd Feb 2022

    If the hand side of pick had more curl it wouldn't dig into cuticle so much when sliding on. To avoid this I pry up pick slightly but the pick is the best I've ever used.

  8. To new to review 4 Star Review

    Posted by on 16th Feb 2022

    I am restarting banjo after 50 years. Previously I never got to the level I wished; I hope I achieve that this time. In doing my research for this restart I learned I should be using the BCT-BRL. I wanted to use the best so I went with the reviews and recommendations I found.
    I rate at four star because I am not proficient yet which is me not the pick.
    I am very excited to have this pick.


  9. It took a lifetime to find! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 29th Jun 2021

    At last a thumb pick that fits snugly, but doesn't cut off the blood supply! I also love the wider spacing of the BRL which gives a fantastic constant bass to my acoustic guitar. I'm going to have to order another now!


  10. Excellent pick 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 25th May 2021

    This may be the best thumb pick I've tried yet! Very well designed, it doesn't move around, and the shape of the blade makes for a clean attack.
