Perfect large size and thickness. Been using Golden Gate mandolin picks for years, but they’re just too small to hang on to. These are big enough and thick enough and get grabby when wet and they are also very quiet. Perfect.

I’m truly stunned at how much better this pick sounds on my acoustic guitars v’s every other pick. Truly, it’s a clearer, crisper sound. More highs, more mids, more defined lows. My Martin D18 sounds absolutely incredible with this pick. Very satisfied customer!

Actually, it looks like I mad a mistake. I had many Blue Chip picks an quite frankly am spoiled. This time though, I ordered the TAD 60 thinking it was he same diameter outline as the Chris Thile 55. It's just a "TAD" bit smaller. I wish I could exchange it but I think you check that box that says you know exactly what you are getting etc. etc.

I have been playing guitar for 40 years and have accumulated hundreds of guitar picks. I read an article on Kenny Smith and decided to spend what I thought was an exorbitant amount on a Blue Chip pick. It was Christmas time and I thought I would treat myself. When I received the pick I could not believe how effective it was. It raised my playing level tenfold. I would recommend Blue Chip picks to anyone.
Anyone want my hundred old picks ?

I have many BC picks and the TAD60 is yet another great one. Use it it on an F5 mandolin. BlueChip also re-beveled a damaged CT55 for me and it came back like new.

TAD - 60 is great. I like the TAD - 50 better for mandolin. The 60 has its own vibe - great for guitar. Truth be told, I'm always switching among Tad-40, 50, and 60. All sound great and a little different - depends on the song.

I have played Bluechip picks for over four years now and won't go back to anything else. In fact, just to ensure that I was "set for life" because I expect these picks will last a lifetime, I've accumulated 12 TAD-60 and rotate through each one per month, flipping sides on each day of practice. You will not be disappointed. I keep them all in Blue Chip's deep box.

The size and thickness of TAD60 is great for flatpicking and volume. I like a heavier-than-average pick; still very melodic sounding. I use the TAD50 for a lighter touch. Blue Chip picks are so pleasant to play. The tactile glide across the strings is just great! I'll probably order another TAD50 and TAD60, as these two picks work perfectly for my needs.

I've been using Bluechip picks for a few years now, I'm a hobby player but still choose Bluechip because they do produce the best tone and provide the best pick control of anything that I've tried. I recently took some classes at a Music Camp and all the teachers focused on various elements of 'tone' for acoustic instruments. Playing fast or fancy was fine, but what sets apart the music is the tone that comes from those strings. Even as a hobby player, i can hear and feel the difference a Bluechip pick makes to my playing and sound. There is nothing like them, they are handmade with precision, the material they use is unique and is the major element of the cost of the pick. I've been lucky to meet the owners of the family business in Knoxville while on a visit to the USA and speak to the actual people who hand make every single pick to perfection.
But it is the difference in tone and ease of picking that makes Bluechip a 'no-brainer' to buy.

I had a hard time wrapping my head around paying 35$ for a pick until i played the TAD 60! It has increased my tone and playability ten fold!
