There is something unique with these picks. The sound I get out of my acoustics is not bright and loud (like with my tortoise shell pick, for instance). Neither is it harsh and aggressive like my "basic" 1mm standard picks. Rather, I get a more mellow, muted and noise-less (from the pick itself) sound that is more pleasing to me than any other pick I own.
I recently misplaced my old TD35 and promptly ordered another one to make up for the unacceptable loss. Granted, these are very expensive but I cannot see me going without one anymore.

I purchased my first blue Chip years ago because of Chris Thile of Nickel Creek. I love playing mando. While gigging, all sweaty the picks gripped my fingers well. Just after that I would put it down and grab my six string and "the other" pick just slide out of my fingers. I would dream of a six string that could work as well as my Blue Chip. Well, they make one and it is perfect! Also, the sound created on my acoustic is just a step away from the fingernail sound. It has a rich tone that translates well. I love it:)

I didn't know about BlueChip pics until I bought a used Martin D-18 off someone that graciously threw in a TD35 pic. My favorite now for sure, and my go-to when I want to sound my absolute best. Try one, you'll agree.

A great pick that sounds very clean. Excellent feel strumming. i didn,t think a pick would make such a difference in the sound but try it for yourself. Awsome!

Great Picks! I had bought the Jazz LG 35 and came back for the TD35. Loved them all! Great sound and playability! I strongly recommend!

This is my first Blue Chip pick and I immediately noticed a level of sensitivity and control that truly makes this pick an extension of my strumming hand. What an incredible difference. This pick makes practicing and playing so much more enjoyable for me: I'm no longer distracted that my pick will slip in my grip; it glides seamlessly between strings and plays precisely as I intend it to. As a beginner, I didn't invest much in my first guitar. The money I spent on my TD-35 LH has been worth the confidence it's afforded.

Best pick ever, I can play lick with this pick that I can't get with others. Smooth and glides off the strings

Before purchasing my own (which I felt I had to do because), I had tried one belonging to a friend. Picks of other materials don't give the same consistent input to output relationship across the range of dynamic playing. The pick attack is incredibly consistent whether you play light or hard, and by playing light or hard you only vary the amplitude of the string vibrating. Furthermore I find that the harmonic character of a plucked string to be full profile and that, again, varied playing dynamics change the amplitude of a note without affecting the harmonic profile; so all notes sound full and fat whether played loud or soft. Basically this is the closest a pick can come to the perfect idea of a pick. I'm spoiled forever.

My son is actually a far more accomplished guitarist than I am and he told me Chris Thile used these picks, so I purchased three for him for a Christmas present and one for me. I like thinner picks and bought the thinnest one on your website. Once I got used to the rigidity I can't say anything except, it is fabulous. I have never played with the precision this pick affords. Thank you.

A year ago I never would have considered paying 35.00 for a guitar pick. It just wasn't part of my picking philosophy. You find a pick that works and you use it. There were basically two different textures and thickness was everything. In the past year I have purchased four Blue Chip picks. These picks are simply amazing. They have become part of my instrument. They eliminate pick noise as much as possible and give the purest tone of anything I've ever used. The feel is also surprisingly amazing. As smooth and slick feeling as they are, they are remarkably easy to hold onto. I'm not satisfied with any other pick these days. If you're paying into the thousands of dollars for quality instruments, what's another 35.00 for a pick that will help your instrument sound even better? Who'd of thunk a pick could make that much difference?
