CT55

I am a mandolin player and this is just the right size and shape pick for me. It definitely raised my level of playing with the bevel that I have always used emory cloth to create. a\Also just the right weight. Job well done. Can't believe I paid what I paid for a pick.

Context: I am a guitarist of 45 years or so and mostly use fingers/nails, sometimes flat picks, sometimes fingerpicks. I am starting to play the mandolin more seriously. Yes, I bought this pick because I was sure I could play like Thile on the first stroke. It is a remarkably comfortable and attractive kinesthetic experience to use this pick, and while I can't really make sense of the price, the pleasure and sound is 'worth' the cost.

In the 53 years I have been playing guitar, I would have never thought a pick would be in this area regarding costs. I bit the bullet and have to say that it is the best decision I have made to use one. In fact, picks were a dime a dozen so to speak. This one adds a WHOLE new opportunity to my playing, comfort and abilities. Works so well I ordered the thumb pick as well...EXCELLET product and service

This pick immediately improved my playing ability and improved my tone so much I thought I'd died and went to heaven. I used to lose picks all the time, not anymore at thirty bucks a go. Bottom line, their worth it. Recommended.

I've been playing on the BlueChip Jazz picks for electric guitar for a while, and when I purchased my Mandolin it only made sense to pick up one of their Mandolin picks. I was a little worried the size difference would throw me off but I should have known better...simply fantastic...everything these guys make is simply top notch and sounds fantastic....keep it up guys :-) My only request would be to offer a bulk discount if anyone wanted to but multiple picks at one time.

I did`nt really think a pick could have such an effect in the sound, and my overall playing. Been playing for 39 years and gig often, these picks are worth every penny. I bought one to try and ended up buying four more so I will not be without.

I looked askance at the person who recommended this $30 pick (I mean really? I pay a buck!) But then I got one with a new mando and never looked back. I have purchased 5 of these now, one for each instrument. It has a "sound" quality that I like, and it's big enough to hold (and symmetrical, so any angle). And it supposedly never wears out. My biggest fear is loaning it to someone...

I'm not a fast picking, red hot guitar/mandolin player but I do have some history. I really do like my Blue Chip Picks. I probably wouldn't have noticed the "sticky factor" if someone hadn't have mentioned it but now I like it a lot.

I was definitely dubious about spending $35 on a pick. Since it came I've been comparing it to every other pick I own (mostly on the mandolin) and the truth is it sounds better and plays smoother than any of them. I really wish one of my $2.00 picks had shown me what a fool I was for spending that kind of money but, alas, it was worth it! The difference is less striking to me on guitar, but still pretty clear.
