I really like the TAD-40!
Posted by Ray on 30th Aug 2025
I like the way it feels in my hand,
I like the tone it produces,
I like the color.
In fact I like it so much I bought one for my son,
And he likes it too!
I will be buying more.

I like 'em all
Posted by Harold Dodson on 27th Aug 2025
I like the Blue Chip TAD 40.
I also like the Blue Chip TP 50 and the Blue Chip BC Jazz LG 40
The distinct difference in tone is remarkable
I just wonder why they are not a nice shade of Blue....cobalt blue for instance
I keep misplacing them on my mahogany desktop. They blend right in!

TAD 40 is my favorite
Posted by Unknown on 22nd Aug 2025
TAD 40, for me, provides the right size and just the right amount of "give" for mandolin chop and lead breaks. The TAD 50 works well, too, for the times I need a little stiffer action. Both high-quality products with the right bevel, and lasts a long time. However, product deliver time was painfully slow.

Extremely fast off the strings. Easy to hold onto.

About as close to tortoise style pick that I’ve ever used. With just a little softer tone than tortoise. Great Pick.

Slick Speed and Sweet Tone
Posted by Otis Gump on 21st Aug 2025
This pick is very fast, smooth, and sounds great. I did a tone test against 4 other standard picks and there is no comparison. It has improved my flat-picking in all ways. I hope I never lose it, but if I do, I'll buy a replacement ASAP.

Great Large Format "Thickish" Pick
Posted by Randy S. on 13th Aug 2025
Great Pick. large format makes it easier to hold on fast passages (playing a lot of mandolin lately). I also have a CT55 which produces a sharper tone but is correspondingly harder to play through strings.
The TAD40 is a little easier to play than the CT55 as it's thinner. I've been leaning towards the CT55 but it's a matter of personal preference.
an other benefit of the larger pick format is I'm more aware of the angle of the pick making recovery between up and down strokes more consistent.
I also bought a TD40. Great Pick in a more traditional format. Excellent if you want a slightly smaller but high quality pick.
Again - Great Pick - worth the price if you're serious.

Price does not matter Quality does
Posted by Tom on 29th Jul 2025
A fine well made crafted item I wish I had an opportunity to try them all I purchased the TAD 40. It was a bit firm for me. I am a beginner and need a lighter , thinner pick.

Absolutely the best pick ever!
Posted by Don Scroggins on 29th Jul 2025
Great feel and grip. It picks the string and slide off perfectly.
I cannot imagine a better pick.

makes a difference
Posted by Jeffrey on 17th Jul 2025
Feels great in the fingers, I see why the professionals love it. You don’t have to think about is your pick slipping. Love this product. Getting a thump pick.

A slightly larger and thinner option
Posted by Unknown on 16th Jul 2025
Bought this TAD40 so I would have two sizes and two thicknesses since I also ordered a TP48. The TAD40 gives you a little more to hang onto and a slightly brighter tone which is good for rhythm. I use both picks regularly.
