Product Description
The CT55 is a pick custom designed by Chris Thile for his personal use. It is very similar in size and shape to our TAD line of picks. However it is only manufactured in 55/1000 of an inch(1.4mm) thickness and has a custom bevel per his specifications. This is the exact pick that Chris Thile is currently using. See his thoughts on this pick on our users page.
Quarters, Nickels and Dimes, if included in the pictures, are for size reference only. They are not etched on the picks or included with the sale. To use this reference, please place a coin on your current non-Bluechip pick and then compare to the pictures of our picks with coins on top of them. This will help you choose the pick that is closest to your current favorite size and shape.

Made me a believer
Posted by Brian G. on 29th Dec 2022
I honestly don't write reviews, but I'm making an exception here because of your exceptional product. Like others have stated, I too struggled with the sanity of buying a $35 pick. After all, I'm not a "professional". I just like playing my mandolin for fun. I have an assortment of picks, some of which appear to be the same shape and/or thickness - "Prime----", "Golden----", "Prop---", "D--g". But curiosity got the better of me and I bought a CT55 with RH bevel for Christmas. Now I'm glad I did. I don't know how or why but this pick outshines all of the rest. I would never have believed it if I didn't try one for myself! The tone of my mandolin has never sounded so good. Also, the way this pick feels in my hand is already helping me relax both of my hands and my playing is smoother because of it. Thank you again for a great product!

Should Have Bought it Sooner!
Posted by Alan Dust on 28th Dec 2022
I hesitated for years after I first used a friends Blue Chip Pick at a jam and spent a lot of time and money trying to find a cheaper alternative. If I would have bought the Blue Chip sooner, it would have been a lot less aggravation and actually cheaper in the long run.
It took me a little while to tune in the right pick but I finally found it and couldn't be more satisfied with it.

Definitely my favorite pick
Posted by Mark on 26th Dec 2022
I am a big fan of BlueChip picks and the company itself. This is the perfect thickness and bevel for me. Trust me after you try many othe
R brands you will find BlueChip to be a great value at $35.00

Every expensive, but GREAT.
Posted by Rusty Draper on 21st Dec 2022
As a Canadian, I ended up paying $69.09. Shipping and cross border, plus the difference in the US dollar to the Canadian added more than the actual pick cost. In saying that, I was foolish in paying that amount for one pick, BUT I am THRILLED with my Blue Chip Pick. Until you actually try one, you will never know how smoothly it slides over the string. To the delight of my family, they say that my playing is much improved. They didn't say GREAT, just IMPROVED.

Eureka, Finally Found a Pick I Love!
Posted by Laura on 19th Dec 2022
I have tried several pick types - Wegen and other less expensive brands. None felt right to me. I met someone at a festival who had a Blue Chip. Instantly I could tell we were meant to be. It didn’t slip like so many others and the sound it made was more neutral (more volume and less pick noise). Happy to have found a keeper.

great tone and flexibility
Posted by Timothy Sweeney on 28th Nov 2022
I tired the CT 55 and I really like the "weightyness" of the pick s it feels slightly heavier than other picks of similar thickness.
While I prefer it for my heavier instrumentz -mandola, octave mandolin and mandocello, the tone on any mandolin is strong and loud, with less "clickyness".
Overall a great mandolin pick for any level player.

Superior to all other picks!
Posted by Unknown on 14th Nov 2022
Outstanding in every way--size, shape, feel, grip, playability, and tonal quality. I desire no other pick for mandolin.

simply the bes!!
Posted by Jim Mutter on 7th Nov 2022
What can I say. These are the most amazing picks I’ve ever used. Constant and consistent string grab both down strum and up strum. Been playing on one for years and it shows no sign of wear. I luv these things!!!
