1. Feels great, Works great

   Posted by Ray on 14th Mar 2013

   Recently purchased the CT55 to use with mandolin. This pick feels great in the hand. Plenty large enough and is the right amount of stiffness for me. Pick bites well with no string noise. So many of the other mandolin picks are just to thick for my taste. This one is a winner.

2. Amazing pick

   Posted by Brett on 28th Feb 2013

   I recently took up mandolin, and have been playing at church. I have played guitar and bass for years, but am new to this instrument. I had trouble with the picks I was used to, shifting in my hand, dropping them, etc. Bought this pick because I love Chris Thile's music, honestly.
   Have already used it in a worship service, and have to say it was amazing. I love it.
   I just know if I lose it (heaven forbid), I would definitely get another.

3. BEST PICK I'VE EVER OWNED

   Posted by STEVE on 21st Feb 2013

   SIMPLY AMAZING. TRY 1 AND YOU'LL BE HOOKED. I HAD A BUDDY OF MINE TELLING ME FOR OVER 2 YEARS. I FINALLY SPENT THE CASH AND WISH I HAD DONE IT YEARS AGO.

4. I'm keeping this one!

   Posted by Nappy Chin on 14th Feb 2013

   My son talked me out of my first CT 55, believe me, he is the only one I would have given it up to. I haved used tortoise shell for the last 30+ years but I prefer the smoothness of the Blue Chip on the strings and the consistency of the edges.

5. Superb

   Posted by Richard on 7th Feb 2013

   If you only ever buy one more pick, it needs to be this one. I wouldn't have believed the sound and playability difference it could make for me. Crisp clean sounds on open and fretted notes alike and seems to make my playing easier. Pray I never lose it and many thanks to the Goins.

   I used to have several different picks for my guitars that seemd to work best, each with a different one

   many thanks!

7. Still # 1 for me

   Posted by S. K. Burns on 18th Jan 2013

   I still can't find any other pick that makes the same sound as the CT 55 on a mandolin. I just bought a new mando and this is still "the one." I've used several different picks including 3 of the 60 thickness Blue Chips, but this is the pick that allows me to move between strings the easiest while producing a strong, clean, bright sound. I lost one on stage recently and felt naked for the rest of the gigs I sat in on until I got home and reordered.

8. Great, great pick

   Posted by Paul A. on 17th Jan 2013

   I had one of these before and traded it away (for another BC). I was glad that I finally replaced the CT55 with another, because it is an awesome pick. I got a 1-R option, and alternate between rounded and pointed edges. Both feel and sound fantastic.

9. CT-55 and TAD60-1R

   Posted by Howard Band on 14th Jan 2013

   I ordered both of these picks with a round bevel. I'm a new mandolin player but a long time flatpicker. I'm really enjoying both picks and I don't really have a favorite yet. The TAD 60 has a little darker sound (especially when played on the 1R edge. But, I don't know if I could distinguish the sound if I didn't know which I was playing. Great picks...as are all the BC picks. Trick is finding the best one for you.

10. Still Excellent

    Posted by John L on 2nd Jan 2013

    This is my second CT-55. They are the best picks I have ever used, & as long as I can hold on to them, they should last a very long time.
