KS40

I have a number of BlueChip signature Kenny Smith picks in different thicknesses. They produce great tone and are very fast, comfortable and durable. Love ‘em!

I bought this pick and thought it would be great for my Martin guitar. It is, but when I played it with my Gibson F-5 Fern mandolin, I knew that all the other picks I had used were irrelevant. This is the best mandolin pick I have ever played/heard by far! Well worth the money!

Excellent pick, it's the only one I use. Great mellow tone, but with volume, and stays between my fingers.

I bought this pick for my wife, so she wouldn't seal mine! I have four Blue Chip picks of my own. Three of them are Kenny Smith models, two KS50s and a KS40. The 40 is a little brighter than the 50s which is better for close stage miking. I love my Blue Chips, good tone, low string noise, and good grip. The only bad thing about them is that I feel uncomfortable using anything else.

I gave the pick 4 stars just because it was not for me. The pick has all the features you would expect like the classic Blue Chip tone and feel. This pick was just too small for me. If take a standard pick (> and just play the rounded corner that should give you a feel for this pick. The rounded tip is just a bit more rounded than a TPR. Like I said if you play the corners on a standard pick now, You will love this pick.

I recently purchased my second Blue Chip pick and I could be more happy with it. It has great tone on my new Martin D-18 and my 1994 Martin Custom 15. It does not wear like other picks including tortoise shell and I never lose my grip. Sure they cost more but why play a high dollar guitar with a 25 cent pick?

I have ordered 2 of these in between tpr and a KS pick,I also get the thickness of a 35 instead of a 40. I 've been playing a long time and have found that this combo is the best I have ever used. It is great for medium sized hands especially!! It also works great for guitar although I commonly use a regular teardrop 35 blue chip turned to the side.

Great pick's and great service!! After the BC 50 I purchased the Kenny Smith 40, well.. can't say i pick like Kenny bud the pick's are all right.They sound sweet! Greetings from the lowlands:Richard Pawlot

I was turned on to this pick by Kenny Smith himself. I've been using larger BC picks (TAD 1R 40s and 50s) up to now. I thought getting used to a much smaller pick would be more of a challenge but it was easy. I really like the sound this pick imparts to the treble strings in particular. It gives them a punchiness and sweet sounding top end ring. And I find they are better for speed picking. The points are rounded just right. I was using the rounded points of TAD 1R 40s and 50s but they would occasionally get hung up on the string/s during speedy passages. This doesn't occur with the KS picks. They also sound great for strumming. Both the KS-35 and KS-40 are my new favorite picks now. I highly recommend them.
