Best pick made, I've been these picks for years. They do indeed make a difference in sound. They are not dog proof though, my little pup ate my last one!

I find the Blue Chip TAD 50 as the perfect blend of strength and size for my hand when playing my Gilchrist and Gibson Master Model F-5 mandolins. The bevel is the right angle for a crisp tone without scoring the pick. I can't believe how long the pick lasts.

Love the way it glides off of the strings and the tone this thing can pull is unparalleled by any other product!

I play a lot and dig in a lot and I am just now getting my 2nd TAD50 after three years. And truth be told, I'm not quite ready to start playing with the new one, but I am glad I have a new one all lined up and ready to go when that time comes. When I completely wear out my first TAD50 for bluegrass guitar purposes, I will kindly use it as my jazz pick, and that will likely be my jazz pick for the rest of my life. Like others have said, this is the best pick I have ever used. I am a little more aggressive in my playing style...I have other folks in my life that have never worn out a Blue Chip Pick, some not even a single pointed side! And with the TAD series, you get 3 pointed sides!

I recently received my Blue Chip TAD 50 pick, and I haven’t used another pick since! It is so smooth and fast through the strings. I don’t always love playing with a pick, as they never feel secure, but this one is easy to hold on to. I can’t recommend highly enough, honestly!

I love my Blue Chip. Great tone. Use it on an acoustic archtop at the recommendation of Joey McKenzie and it makes a difference. It only took a few days to receive, so service was great. I’ll be using it on every song of our new album we are recording next month!

Second favorite pick (after TAD 40) to use with my Weber Bitteroot mandolin. It nearly has the flexibility and speed of the TAD 40 but smoother tone. Also easier for tremolo while keeping good volume.

I have tried several picks over the years. I play guitar in a bluegrass band and in a church folk group. The TAD-50 is the best overall pick for volume and projection when strumming and playing leads and breaks.

i hesitated for years owing to the price. just one of many bad decisions i've made. i wish i'd bought one years ago.
