Amazing !
Posted by Gene Menet on 30th May 2018
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.

My Pick
Posted by Anni Beach on 8th May 2018
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!

Perfect Mandolin Pick
Posted by Sam Powers on 2nd Apr 2018
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.

New Favorite Pick
Posted by Steve Portman on 26th Mar 2018
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.

Great Pick

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

Hoh?
Posted by Bob on 1st Mar 2018
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).

Best picks EVER
Posted by Joe Widner on 3rd Jan 2018
I absolutely love Blue Chip picks. The tone they produce is simply stellar. The pick glides over the strings because of the polished bevel so they are very fast. I play Bluegrass, Jazz, and some rock and ALWAYS use the BCP’s. I like the TAD 50. I’v Been using these picks for a couple of years now and have compared them to hundreds of other picks. Nothing else compares. I’ve been playing for over 40 years and play out regularly. Nobody I’ve recommended these picks to has regretted buying them.

Bluechip TAD-50 - my favorite
Posted by Tommy Jordan on 2nd Jan 2018
I have several BlueChip picks and have given several as gifts. My favorite style is the TAD-50. The thing sounds great on any acoustic guitar or mandolin and makes a great instrument sound even better. It really is the secret sauce. Ignore the price. Totally trivial in the overall scheme of things.
I typically use the 40 to make an instrument sound brighter, the 50 for general use, and the TAD-1R 60 on my Collings mandolin. the 1R bit means there is one rounded corner so you can get that smoother sound that you need on a mandolin sometimes.

Great for Mandolin
Posted by musician on 18th Dec 2017
I like the TAD 50 a lot, but knew instantly I would need a slightly thicker pick. So I purchased the TAD 60 when Blue Chip offered free engraving, and the TAD 60 is perfect. I'm keeping the TAD 50 as well, because a lighter touch could be needed for various genres. The thickness difference between TAD 50/TAD 60 isn't huge, but I find I play differently.
