CT55

You've already read all the reviews. It's easier to grip. It plays better. It sounds better. It lasts forever. It's expensive but worth it if those things are important to you. Yes, the bevel makes a difference. The people I talked to on the phone could not have been nicer. The order was correct. Everything I expected from a pick and from a company was satisfied.

Best picks I have used. Tried quite many but now I only use these.

High price but perfect pick, good grip, allows precise picking smooth or hard over the strings - don‘t want to go without it. Now I know what I missed so far. And: perfect service, communication and oversea shipping. Thanx a lot!

I’m a beginner mandolin player with a beginner’s mandolin. The mandolin is around the $500.00 range. I purchased a handful of brand name picks along with the mandolin. The Blue Chip CT-55 is absolutely the greatest pick I have ever used. The sound, tone, feeling and the usability is absolutely unmatched by the other brand name picks. Every note picked, chord strummed and chords chopped produce a clear high level tonal quality usually reserved for very expensive professional quality mandolins. There are many beginner players that struggle with finding the proper equipment to use. These picks will improve the overall sound that your mandolin will produce. With proper technique blue chip picks will absolutely 100% improve the sound of your mandolin. Blue chip picks will absolutely bring out the greatest potential that your instrument can provide.

I bought the CT55 after having a TAD R3 50 pick for several years. Both are amazing. Similar speed but they play differently. CT 55 is brighter and TAD more velvety. Maybe less pick noise with TAD. CT55 has a touch more volume though dig in on a note with the TAD and it barks nicely on good mandolins. My tip. Experiment. I enjoy both

I’ve been playing multiple instruments for decades. And once I found the CT-55, I use that pick for everything. Bought it for mandolin, but love it for both electric and acoustic guitar as well. Great communication from the company and ships quick. Highly recommended!

I ONLY use blue chip picks. They are a game-changer on smooth playing. And the service is personal, fast, and friendly. They go out of their way to make sure the customer has exactly what they need.

I play guitar and mandolin, have for 30 years. I’ve never been one to buy a boutique pic, especially one so pricey matter of fact, I laughed when others tried to suggest this very pic to me before. Finally got around to giving it a shot and wouldn’t you know all the hype is true. It brings out the low end of a guitar naturally and beautifully and give authority to the mandolin. It might be my first blue chip pic, but it will not be my last! I highly recommend any player pick one up.

What else could I ask of a pick? Ok, it "sticks" to my hand so that I can use a very light grip. And it is zero-maintenance.; It is well worth the price.
