CT55

I hope more players find the Blue Chip Pick site. I had never heard of them until a month ago after I read an article from someone that won a BC pick as a door prize and continued to rave on about it. I would have punted on the whole idea of spending $35 on a guitar pick until I read a review reminding us how much fiddlers pay for a good bow. I knew what he was talking about. 30 years ago I paid $350 for a bow! My point? Basically, ignore the price and start playing better than you ever thought possible. You will most certainly be better now and get improve faster than you ever thought possible. I'm a Chris Thile fan so I settled on the CT55. I can't imagine anything better. It's fast and accurate. Stick with it for a few days and you will know what I mean.

The sound is the closest thing to a real tortise i have found, yet actually plays smoother with less drag on the strings. Well worth the price.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 now I was looking for a mandopick on the web as I had tested everysingleone that I could lay may hands on never got quiet happy - this thing changed it all... probably will be my number one guitar plec from now on, too many thanks!

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.
