5 Great Mandolin Pick
Posted by Angela on 2nd Mar 2021
I just began playing the mandolin and this pick has worked great for me. It is well made, durable and really easy to strum with. It pulls a strong sound out of my mandolin when I use it.

5 Great to have this option
Posted by Leroy on 17th Feb 2021
On mando I am a TAD1R-60 disciple but on guitar I use 40's and 50's and I can tell you that a few thousandths of thickness makes a surprising difference in tone. It is great to have this 55 option for some tunes and I have enjoyed using it.

The pick is great! I wanted a good pick when I started to play. Worth the price. I only play with one pick and I keep up with it. I have spent more money on less!

5 Best pick I have ever used.
Posted by Graham R Johnson on 8th Feb 2021
Great bevel, smooth in both directions, satisfying 'twang' and sticks to the fingers. After 3 months of daily use, guitar and mandolin, I can't detect any wear.

5 Great Multi Purpose Pick
Posted by Tom Koppin on 18th Jan 2021
Best pick I have ever owned. Works great with Guitar, Mandolin, and Irish Tenor Banjo! I was hesitant because of the price, but worth every penny. I wish I had ordered the leather pick pouch.
