1. There is not a better pick for me.

   Posted by Wes Lassiter "Banjo Island" Frisco NC on 30th Aug 2012

   I have been playing banjo in professional settings for the last 35 years and just happened on the Blue Chip pick when my partner in the band bought me one for my guitar. Within minutes I realized my tortoise shell had suddenly become a relic. Being mainly a banjo player I said well lets get a thumb pick and see what happens. I now sit and play in stunned silence as to how great a difference this pick has over all the rest. My tone is better, notes sound cleaner, never a hint of the scrappy sound just clear notes and it fits perfectly on my finger with no slippage ever. Truly this is the best thing going. It is worth every red cent. Thanks for making these.

2. The one that sounds the best.

   Posted by Jesse G. Sourenian on 20th Aug 2012

   I'm a French banjoist (and singer) in a band called The Country Ramblers and I used many thumb picks in all plastic or either in all metal, and this seems to be the one that sounds the best and to be the more comfortable I've tied, to go with my Sammy Shelor finger picks (which I thing are the best also as finger picks).

3. Another work of art

   Posted by DeWitt Beeler on 20th Jul 2012

   OK, let me get this out up front, I returned the pick. But that's just because I decided I'm just not a thumbpick guy, plain and simple. But in terms of the product itslef: the Blue Chip pick material behaves just as you'd expect: smooth, precise, just flawless. The point where the band joins the pick is beautifully designed and executed, no little ridges or gaps to gradually get on your nerves. The metal band: what a piece of craftsmanship. The contours, and the precision with which they've executed them, is really impressive.
   
   So if you want a thumpick, you can't go wrong with this. And remember, you're dealing with people at Blue Chip who are, in my considerable experience with them, almost pathologically committed to customer satisfaction.

4. Best Thumb Pick I've ever used

   Posted by Mike Hawsey on 26th Jun 2012

   since getting my first BlueChip pick from a friend in a bluegrass group "Tomrrows News" we will use nothing else. This thumb pick is awesome and gives such a solid sound and feels great! Thanks BC.

5. THE Most comfortable Thumb pick that I have found

   Posted by Barry Bouchillon on 8th Jun 2012

   The BCT-JDM is the absolute most comfortable thumb pic. I believe I have tried almost every one on the market. I may have missed one. Looking for that feel and the sound was my motivation. This pick gives me both. The craftsmanship is outstanding and I believe this pick will last me for many, many years.

6. The perfect thumb pick!

   Posted by Dave on 17th May 2012

   I have tried just about every thumb pick currently on the market and this one beats them all. It can be easily adjusted slightly smaller or larger if needed and the band is etched so that it will not slip. The quality of this product is second to none. I highly recommend it.

7. Pick one up!

   Posted by Jim Roberts on 14th Dec 2011

   I've held off on my review until I had a chance to give it a through test. I purchased the BCT-JDM in July 2011 and have used it approximately 125-150 hours. After I had the adjustment right it took around 20 hours to get to the point where I didn't want to play with any other pick. The adjustment is easy and stays where I need it. The pick doesn't rotate on my thumb regardless of how hard I play. There has been absolutely no scratching , however I have managed to hook the 5th string a few times. My instructor tells me it is do to bad hand position and not the pick.
   Also the tone forward or back on the head is sharp, clean and consistent. It is slick indeed.
   I've been playing banjo since 1972 and can say that this product is the most significant that has come to the banjo scene since
   I've been playing. I'll be buying another for
   my other banjo case! Thanks BC and J.D.

   The Blue Chip BCT-JDM is a very well made responsive but quiet thumb pick,it works really well and is adaptable in different combinations of picking.
   It's the best darned Thumb pick I've ever owned.

9. It's worth every penny!

   Posted by Jim Bird on 9th Dec 2010

   I was a little worried about spending $40 for a thumbpick, but once I played my banjo with it I realized it was worth every penny. The pick is comfortable to wear, and has almost no pick noise on the strings. I love the tone. This pick will improve the sound of your picking the first time you use it.
