This is a solid pick.

This pick produces a clean crisp and well rounded sound. They don't wear down and the fact that they stick lightly to your fingers means you don't have to grip tightly and they don't move around in your hand. This make them a joy to use particularly for fast, accurate bluegrass picking. Well worth the extra money.

Worth every dollar. Has added speed an accuracy to my playing. Tremolo instantly came alive with dynamic and tonal color. love how it sits between thumb and index. My search is over. The TAD50 is the WORD!

Speaking as a very old timer, Blue Chip picks are a marvelous addition for string guys. Amazing sound production and the won't slip. Can't go wrong. I have several including the JD thumb pick. The TAD50's were a gift to my son.

I can hold it easily and it does not make pick noise like the others I have used over the years on my mandolin. And my name is on it, too!

Having been using and wearing down the same red jazz picks for years on the mandolin I came to the conclusion that I should finally invest in a BlueChip. This choice has led me to the best pick I have ever used on both mandolin and guitar.

Tried this on a whim and fell in love. Great for bluegrass fiddle tunes on my acoustic: great tone, stays steadfast between my thumb and index finger, the real deal. I often don't review musical products, but, I was taken with this pick. I thought it seemed expensive at first, but, after using it for a while, I eventually came to the conclusion that I was glad I pulled the trigger. Highest recommendation!. No turning back now.

Love the tone I get from using this pick and really like the way it stays put in my fingers while playing. Great product.

I like the TAD 50 that I bought - recommended by a friend. It's the first pick I've tried that I felt I had total control with - i.e. not turning on me or falling out of my fingers. Being a bluegrass musician (y'know, a man's man in the picking world) I can get plenty of punch and power. The pick also wears very nice. I have been playing for a couple of months with it and have noticed no wear. Only downside is a slight fuzzy sound. I've ruled out fret noise so I don't know if that's the shape of the pick, or the tremendous force this pick allows me to generate (remember bluegrass pickers are not limp wrists).
