My favorite pick
Posted by Dave Vargo on 9th Jun 2016
Over the years I have tried a countless variety of different picks. Last year I finally found the perfect pick for me. Thanks Blue Chip for making such great picks!

Plectrum Perfection
Posted by Bill C. on 30th Apr 2016
Hands down the best pick I have ever used.
Matthew Goins was kind enough to make (2) for me with the jazz tip and no bevel. He replied to my email promptly and shipping was quick as always. I will certainly purchase more of these for myself and present them as gifts to fellow mandolinists.
Highly recommended!

Still trying to get used to it...
Posted by Dick talley on 19th Apr 2016
I ordered 2 picks a TD 40 and TD 50.
I actually get more string noise as it plays than my standard picks
Hopefully I will get to know and like this pick better but so far not yet. Are all the picks made of the same material as the TD's?
Thanks for asking for a review

Great Pick
Posted by John S. on 19th Oct 2015
This is a great pick. Might be the best I have ever used. HOwever I am not an advanced enough player to tell whether it can really increase my flatpicking speed because my technique is just not good enough to get up to those speeds. The pick does have great tone and is very comfortable between my thumb and pointer finger. It also seems easier to hold onto as I seem to drop it less often. The price is a bit much though.

A Little Too Thin
Posted by Mark Thompson on 7th Oct 2015
I love BluecChip picks but the TD-40 series is just a little bit too thin for my purposes.
I prefer the TD-45 that was specially made or a TD 50. I believe the latter delivers all
the great tone my '51 D-28 or '06 Bourgeois D-150 is capable of. Isn't that what we all
want?

"The Pick"
Posted by B. B. Wolfe on 5th Oct 2015
Have played many different brands of picks and have never been completely satisfied, that is, until now. The TD 40 is the only pick I have played that feels like it is an extension of myself. It is strong enough to use for flat picking and flexible enough to produce a good rhythm. Looking forward to many years of playing with this pick, that is, if I don't lose it first.

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.
