BCT-RESO-1L

I'm not a dobro player with a life time of experience. Guitar is my main instrument so I finally listened to dobro players who DO have a lifetime of experience after trying several other options for thumb picks. I'll leave all of the others in a drawer now. I should've listened in the first place. Yes, it's a lot of money for a pick but it's worth every penny. It has an elegant feel and great, smooth attack. Large blade size took a little bit of getting used to but worth the small amount of time it took. GREAT product!!

I've been trying to find the right thumb pick and have gone through a pile of different types. I follow the advice of a bass player friend of mine, who said not to worry about hitting the strings hard - they won’t hit back. Guess I’m a bit hard on thumb picks. After doing some research and sending emails to the good folks at BlueChip, I got one each of the 1-L and JDL thumb picks and really like them both. They both fit perfectly and don't slip, and the action is very smooth. The JDL is not as bright as the 1-L, that is, the sound is a bit more rounded. On most songs this is perfect. There are some songs that work better with a strong bright sound from the thumb. Just an overall amazing thumb pick.

I had forgotten which pick I had bought, so I took a stab and ordered this one...it was not the one I lost, but in very short time I came to love it

As an oldie 'newbie' to both banjo and dobro I've got most of the other brands of thumbpicks to try out, but I thought I'd try a bluechip both the JD Crow model First time trying them, instant smile on my face. They fit perfect, are comfortable and stay on. I've got big hands and ordered the large model and its as if they are custom made for me. As a newbie, I'm a bit coarse/rough playing, but the picks stay exactly on my thumb whatever I'm doing. I know people have been playing banjo and reso for years with other picks, however, I'm happy with these and have stopped trying other brands. Definitely worth the money, thanks.

These fit well, play well and wear like iron.....

I have bought several thumb picks for playing my banjo lately trying to find something that feels a little better. I have several Blue Chip flat picks and I like them so I thought I would try one of their thumb picks. I was amazed as soon as I made the first roll...it is VERY VERY smooth. It also seems more comfortable than plastic picks. I am very happy with mine.

You hear it all the time, "I was skeptical..." but, this is the REAL deal.

I had already tried the CT55 pick and JDL thumbpick for my guitar and mandolin. Having recently got a Resonator lap guitar and wanting to order a backup pick and thumbpick, I decided to add on a Reso thumbpick to the order based on my satisfaction with those. However, a little voice in the back of the head was going 'whats the difference? you've got a JDL pick?' anyway, I got one. Now I'm just a hobby player, so this may just all be in the mind, but I like this Reso pick, and although I'm in the early stages of skill level, I'm very happy with it. I keep my JDL thumbpick with my banjo, and the Reso with my Resonator and so far they are both comfortable and fit and play perfect, I don't seem to make the silly mistakes I was doing before, maybe its a mind thing, but I'm happy to have both these thumbpicks.

This is by far the best thumb pick I have ever used. I was a little skeptical at first sight because I thought it would be uncomfortable due to the metal wrap. Man was I ever wrong. It is the most comfortable pick I have ever put on my thumb. I definitely plan to buy another one in the near future.
