This is our JD Crowe style dobro/resonator thumb pick in a size large. This is a slightly thicker blade design as compared to our banjo picks to withstand the more strenuous use on a dobro. It is constructed using a custom designed stainless steel band and a 60/1000 of an inch(1.50mm) thick BlueChip pick. 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.

I am an elementary music teacher, and play my autoharp all day.
This pick provides an excellent tone, and is comfortable for all day use.

I play fingerstyle acoustic and resonator guitars. I've used a lot of different thumb picks over the years (40 or so now) and have never been satisfied with any of them until now. The plastic ones all seem to dig into my thumb and make it go numb plus having thin tone. Other metal/synthetic combinations never really seemed sound right or fit well. The Blue Chip reso thumb pick is comfortable for long playing sessions and sound is full and excellent. I also like the regular thumb picks almost as much as the reso.

I have tried so many thumb picks in the past but found this to be the #1 for me!

I would not have thought that a thumb pick could be this much more comfortable and deliver a noticeably better tone. This pick is designed and built with better materials and ergonomics than any others I've used. This was definately money well-spent.

Have one in each guitar case.
Search is over - no need to look anymore - only thumb pick I'll ever use.
No pain - great tone.

I have used BlueChip picks for several years. They are the best I have ever used. The quality of all if your picks is outstanding. They never need to be buffed or prepped. The tone they create in all my instruments is unsurpassed.

I have bought five or six J. D. Crowe Thumb Pics for Banjo and For Dobro. Nothing can compare to the sound, definition and comfort of Blue Chip Pics. I Have Given Away Several Pics to My Banjo Picking Friends.Linzey Ham…Catawba Bluegrass Band…

I am a fingerpicking banjo and guitar player, and had no need for a flat pick. Over the holidays discovered that Blue Chip makes thumb picks as well, so I ordered one. I got the reso because I liked the shape better.
Wow! What a powerful and deep sound I get from this pick. It gives an excellent attack sound when needed, and also a lovely chime for classical banjo music.
I grab it all the time now, my fear is that either I will lose it, or my kleptomaniac pick loving cat will steal it from me

It's what you thought it would be.

I ordered this same Thumb Pick a month or so ago and it improved my Reso Playing 100%. I did review the the first pick already and this is my second I ordered for a backup.
I am a Senior beginner Reso player and self teaching myself through Peghead Nation Online...
