Came for the Sound - Stayed for the Feel
Posted by DG on 16th Sep 2015
As many have said, the sound is superior. I haven't played a tortoise shell pick, but most likely I've played every other material. The tone is as solid as a pick twice it's thickness and half of it's control.
And I agree with everyone who's described the feel as organic. It warms quickly and somehow feels as if it's conformed to my grip.
I couldn't ask for more.

is it worth it?
Posted by Lou on 4th Sep 2015
Buying something that is orders of magnitude more expensive than the average product price does require some serious rationale. The first barrier is making the investment at all and on this point the answer is pretty straight forward; the time, money and commitment to music and the enjoyment of the engagement more than justify the expense. The second question is one of value and performance and in that regard Blue Chip has absolutely succeeded. I purchased the TD 35 and 40 and both have exceeded my expectations. They glide over the strings, are very easy to grip and control and appear to be very durable. Even more importantly, they make your guitar sing while improving your accuracy. Pretty astounding for such a small part of the musical formula, but totally in keeping with the concept of instrumentation from bone nuts to solid woods. I recommend you spring for a Blue Chip and give one a try. I am sure you will find that it a good investment.

TD 50 and TD 40
Posted by Steve Osborn on 1st Sep 2015
These are great picks. I held off buying one for years, but I finally decided a nice dreadnought guitar should have a good pick to go with it. I like a crisp, ringing sound, but not metallic sounding; woody and warm. I'd been using polycarbonate picks but after getting the TD 50 and 40, I've put my other picks away. I think I like the 40 a little better for the sound I want. It's just a bit brighter than the 50, but a solid, firm pick just the same. It does not move in my fingers even when playing hard. I think the 40 might just be the best all around pick thickness. Minimal pick noise on strings. These Blue Chip picks seem to do it all.

Tone Tone Tone
Posted by Sean Rezel on 25th Aug 2015
When it first arrived I tested with my usual picks like the Dunlop Tortex fin. There is a huge difference in sound. Not small. Huge. The way it clips the strings doesn't come across as harsh and immediately some of my band members recognize the difference in tone. Incredible pick. After getting really good gear, don't sting on the pick. It is also extremely comfortable to hold and grips really well.

Great pick for everything!
Posted by Brian on 16th Aug 2015
I was already using TP-1R for acoustic and loving it, so I decided to pick up a TD-style pick to try out on electric. I had used a light to medium pick for electric, and decided to go with the TD 40, figuring I would still use it for acoustic if I didn't like it for electric.
I got it yesterday and used it for a gig this evening. The shape is really nice, with a slightly slimmer point than my normal pick. Despite being a good deal thicker than what I normally use, the thickness was not a problem. And, of course, it had the same great grip that I love for acoustic. I was never worried about the pick flying out of my hand or shifting into an unwanted position.
Tonally, the result on electric is much the same I experience on acoustic. The attack is warm and musical and the dynamics are very easy to control. Love it! Also, whereas I can run through my normal picks at a rate of one or even two per hour set, the TD-40 still looks and feels brand new even after a couple of hours of practice and frenetic bit of playing. I may order a TD-35 and get a bit closer to my usual gauge, but if for some reason the TD-40 became the only pick I could use for the rest of my days, I wouldn't bat an eye.

TD 40
Posted by James Blench on 6th Jul 2015
The TD 40 has good tone; not as bright as other picks but a strong mellow resonance; finished well and the material seems to be quite fast against the string. In retrospect I think I should have ordered the thicker pick for bluegrass style guitar.

I have finally found THE pick !!!
Posted by Timothy Eldridge on 3rd Jul 2015
I've owned very few tortoise shell picks. With most of us - that is now a thing of the past. I'm sure many of us have very fond "pick" memories. I had a 3 cornered tortoise shell that I still miss and that was 20 years ago ! I had tried a Blue Chip only once before and I gave it away. Recently, I looked at the specs and sizes very carefully for myself. When I saw the speed bevel -- I decided to give Blue Chip Picks another try ! I must say, without hesitation, my TD 40 is an excellent pick ! I LOVE it ! I have finally found THE pick !!!

I've previously usel thinner versions of picks. After Trying the 35 I thought I'd go up one gauge and I am more than satisfied feels great and sounds good.

worth every penny
Posted by Dan Spielman on 24th Jun 2015
I've been using the same TD45 for the past 5 years (several hours of playing each day) and it is still just as great as day 1. It grabs that little extra bit of tone out of every instrument it touches. I can't see myself using anything else. Blue chip for life.
