These have the best grip and fit of any thumb picks I've ever used! They don't budge and the shape of the band around your finger is very comfortable. Like all BlueChip picks, the grip is fantastic. The tone is also very crisp and the low notes can really pop out nicely. The fit is slightly smaller than the regular Dunlop mediums. So if those are tight on your thumb, maybe consider a large. Very happy with this pick!

Straight up a huge Chris Pandolfi fan boy. He posted to his Instagram that he uses this pick. I bought it. It is light, firm on my finger, and has great tone (Spoiler Alert: It won’t make you as good as Chris Pandolfi, sadly).

Great to finally find a quality left handed thumb pick and very fast international shipping!

I have been fiddling with the banjo all my life...never having had the time to really devote myself to it, so I am like many who are perpetual beginner/intermediates...more beginner sadly. I have always had trouble with my thumb pick scratching the fifth string. I read that this new J D Crowe pick helped a player who posted about it. So I tried it. And it is like magic. I never, I repeat, NEVER, now hear that annoying scratching. And it inspires me to practice more. It was so well worth the money.

I am one and a half months new to banjo, and stringed instruments in general. I saw many people in the instructional videos using these so I bought one. I love it, and it doesn't grab the fifth string like the plastic one I started with. It doesn't move on my thumb and just feels solid. I practice just about every day so it's worth it to me! Thanks for making it!

I just started playing banjo. I saw several people using these pics on instructional videos and ordered one. The plastic ones fit tight at first but got loose. This one stays in place and it doesn't grab the fifth string like the other ones. Once I got used to it, I love it. Thanks for making them.

Hey. I've been playing Bluegrass banjo since 1973. I have purchased and played and experimented with everything I can get my hands on--Golden Gate, Dunlop, Propik, Acri, Showcase, and other smaller makers. Nothing compares to BlueChip on every single point: comfort, playability, durability, design and workmanship. Right out of the tube (yes, it's shipped in a little plastic tube), very minor adjustments are necessary to get the pick to feel natural on the thumb. The BlueChip material, whatever it is, does not show wear. Ever. And it creates a crisp, clean, solid and warm tone that is a huge step up from any "normal" plastic tip. The construction of the pick is state of the art. I use my JD Crowe Medium on banjo, guitar, and even on my 1920's Epiphone banjo-uke. Just hope I never lose it!

excellent material that enhances the sound of the strings by returning all the harmonics

Cons: Pricey Pros: American made, top notch quality, smooth action across the strings, most comfortable band on the market. Summary: While there are similar thumb picks on the market this one takes the best parts of all of them and combines it into one pick. If you have the money to spend, or are looking to buy a gift for a picker this pick is a special treat.
