5 Beautiful Tone
Posted by David on 25th Sep 2019
This is a very nice pick that sticks to your fingers and promotes a relaxed grip. The material seems to optimize the tone of my guitars no matter which strings I’m using. I fully expect it will be durable as none my other five BlueChips show any appreciable wear.

Posted by jeff on 24th Sep 2019
I have been practicing flat picking for 3-4 years. i thought that all pick we created equGreat Pickal. They are clearly not. This pick us worth all that I paid, I have lost a couple and bought replacements. They are simply the best.

5 What a Difference
Posted by James R Eaton on 1st Apr 2019
I have always had issues with picks moving and spinning and ultimately sliding out of my fingers. This pick has solved all of those issues and allowed me to play more aggressively with a lot less stress! The other noticeable difference is the sound coming off my mandolin. It has a more "woody" sound which enhances the chop chords sound. I couldn't be happier!

5 where has this pick been all my life
Posted by Jon Healey on 8th Jan 2019
To put it simply, I play better using your product. I have a mild deformity with my index finger. The slightly enlarged TAD, along with the bevel are huge! Thank you. I name some of my picks Blue Alex , after my boy cat who likes to howl in the hallway at nights. Guess he’s lonely...

4 Great pick
Posted by Nick Mike on 25th Dec 2018
Great pick, sound tone good but as a hard bluegrass picker, they eventually do get burrs. I haven’t tried to send them back for refurbishing but I assume BC would. Overall, best pick on the market

5 skeptic
Posted by guido on 25th Jun 2018
I thought I had thrown away $$ for a pick, but was immediately surprised- the bluechip has a really dynamic feeling, is easy to grip, has a nice tone. Takes some getting used to as it does seem to glide off the strings. (Collings MT mandolin)

4 TAD60 vs PrimeTone 1.5
Posted by ROGER on 14th May 2018
Comparing this to the flat (not embossed) triangle PrimeTone 1.5 (My only pick for the last several years): Basically identical size and thickness. BC is slightly more flexible. PT slightly more rounded on the points. BC really DOES stick to your fingers for no apparent reason. With no modifications, BC gives a bit more high pluck, and the PT more Mid-Pop. Round a corner of the BC microscopically, re-bevel and MOST IMPORTANTLY re-polish (try toothpaste) and the difference mostly disappears. Tremolo might be a bit easier with the BC. The slight bit of give in the BC is probably what the Dr ordered for my geriatric wrist and elbow, so I'm likely to stick with it. Not sure I'd buy another at the price, though.

5 Best Ever
Posted by mike on 30th Apr 2018
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.

5 amazing
Posted by Jason on 16th Apr 2018
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!
