TAD - 80 (Round Bevel)
Posted by Bruce Baldwin on 12th Dec 2016
This is without a doubt the best pick I've ever used! It really does make a difference. The tone was instantly better. The pick feels really good and secure and has great smoothness almost like glass gliding over the strings. It has improved my accuracy as well. I will be buying more. The price is definitely worth it.

best feel in any pick
Posted by Ian on 27th Sep 2016
I use this pick to thicken-up the sound on my Eastman mandolin. I used to use the wegan 2mm round pick. This pick, after switching from round to triangle, has helped me tremendously. It is crisp, fast, and still thick and somewhat dark sounding. But best of all is the feel in your hand and on the strings. When i don't get in my own way, it positively glides across the strings. My favorite thing is that it stays put. I used to sand picks or buy picks with holes in them in order to not have the pick slide around while performing and sweating. No more. These just stick to you somehow. Framkly, Bluechips seem to allow me do do things I can't do with other picks. It's not hype! I wish it was... i have lost two of these picks:) Although i resisted, I had to buy a third replacement. It killed me, but it killed me more not to have this pick.

The thicker the better
Posted by Doug Lindsay on 11th Jul 2016
I own 4 Blue Chip flat picks and the 80 is my favorite for flat-picking guitar and mandolin. I'm mostly doing Bluegrass nowadays. Your hand can actually relax because a thick pick is easier to hang on to. I generally always keep it wedged in the strings of my #1 guitar when it's not between my fingers.

Immediate gains in technique!
Posted by carey robinson on 28th Jun 2016
I noticed faster picking with much better articulation. More responsive. It would be hard to go back. The sound is good, a little brighter than I wanted at first, but with just a little practice more sounds are evolving. I could never go back to my old pick, so I ordered 2 more for back ups. At fifty bucks a pop it is a lot, I like having the extra edge I don`t care if anyone else uses it I like having an edge.

Complete frequency range and upper harmonics
Posted by Jacques on 28th Jan 2016
Complete frequency range and upper harmonics of the strings are very good expressed. All other picks I own sound woody after i've played with my BluChip TAD80 pick.

Ya it's good.
Posted by Jamie on 17th Aug 2015
Feels nice, sound is a little crisper on the high end. (compared to the 2.0 mm dunlop gators) The "speed bevel" really makes the pick come off the string quick,and has tidy'd up my picking a bit. I find that hinders it a little playing rhythm as it's a little hard to dig into those bass walks. Still getting comfortable with it. The shape and size are perfect. I was real excited waiting for it and was tracking it in the mail. For some reason I was expecting it to be in a fancy box or something. Mostly because I'm Canadian and it ended up costing $80 or so to get it here and it was just a envelope with a Pick in a dime bag!

Slick & Chic
Posted by Frank Jauernick on 27th Jun 2015
Dear Blue Chip-Team,
i recently bought a TAD 80 ( after trying virtually all other Custom Plectriers like Wegen, Dugain, Red Bear etc. ) and have to state, that this delivers the best playing feel i´ve ever had. The structure of your TAD-Model is perfect for economy picking and requires only a minimum of polishing ( Micro Mesh 4000 and 12000 ). Based on the fact that i like fat/darker tones, i´ll order the TAD 100-1R next :). Unfortunately i am domiciled in Germany, so i am forced to pay additional import sales tax...this sucks !

This pick really helps
Posted by Tanya Bromley on 31st Aug 2014
I have been playing mandolin almost two years and some of the technical aspects of the right hand were giving me trouble. The more solid TAD80 really helped with clarity as well as improved the overall tone quality the instrument produced.
I'm a trumpet player, and I know the mouthpiece can make all the difference in the sound. Well, I've learned that is the case with the mandolin pick. Thanks
