Amazing and worth the money!
Posted by Doug on 22nd May 2017
Other folks have said it all and I whole heartedly agree. This is the very best quality pick ever. The volume of sound, the tonal quality, the fact that you can easily soften the tone (due to the bevel?). This pick will not slip or even turn in my fingers. I am a customer for life.

Top quality...again.
Posted by Wes Wooley on 1st Mar 2017
I bought my first Blue Chip 2 years ago, the CT-55, but I lost it recently, so I purchased the TD-50 as a replacement. Both picks have the same quality of design and function -- superior feel of the pick in various conditions ~ dry, oily or wet. The beveled edges have allowed me to adjust my picking hand technique for smoother flatpicking. AND...the best tone I have ever had for bluegrass!
The $35 price tag is well worth it...I recommend it for anyone who wants to get the most out of their playing.

Can't Believe how good!
Posted by Harry Schaffer on 17th Dec 2016
TD50...these picks were recommend to me by a veteran Nashville
session player...He told me they had to be played to be believed...
I told him this must be a Tennessee myth like the Kentucky
bluegrass being blue....the customer service staff was very
helpful....so I figured that I would give a TD 50 a try...WOW!...
I sat for an hour alternating between the Blue Chip and a number
of mandolin picks...NO comparison...Stereo vs Mono...clarity,
volume if wanted...Damn..no words can capture...subsequently
I bought two more, purchased the banjo JD Crowe thumbpick
and finger picks...The picks are worth every penny...if you think
they are expensive for what they are...then give up the mandolin.

Ninja 351

Very loud and clean sounding notes. The tone is well balanced with minimal pick noise. The grip is tacky and glides like butter off the strings. A very fun pick to use.

Great Pick, great sound
Posted by Roy Sandoval on 14th Oct 2016
I have used the TD50 for a few years now. I have four of them. I have used a number of others. I end up going back to this one.

Thanking my teacher of flatpicking
Posted by Giordano Fiutem on 28th Jul 2016
When my teacher flatpicking Roberto Dalla Vecchia to the May 2016 workshop, I did try her pick Blue Chip I knew it was not a normal pick.
The pick was beautiful and often gave great precision to the strumming on the guitar, and the sound was loud and clear.
So I decided that I also wanted to pick the Blue Chip.
Now I am very happy and my Martin D41 guitar sounds very good with new picks.

Great Guitar Pick
Posted by Steve Mooney on 11th Apr 2016
I like the strength that this pick has it really brings out the complete tone and a quality sound in my guitar. I would have never believed it until I tried one. Your cat go wrong Winthrop a blue chip pick. Great product.

My new favorite pick!
Posted by Billy on 22nd Feb 2016
The TD50 is great. I have some other BlueChip picks in different shapes and thicknesses, but I like this the best so far. It is the same size as the Dunlop I've been using for years, but it somehow sticks to your hand and gives WAY better tones. The material is smooth to the touch, but it just does not move in your fingers--hard to describe, but you should try one of these. The main improvement over other plastic picks is the TONE! Especially on acoustic, do an A/B test--the difference is like night and day. Highly recommended.

Not just the best picks but the best company!
Posted by Jeff on 12th Jan 2016
I've been using Blue Chips for years, now. Recently, I purchased a few new ones & inquired about refinishing my existing ones. To my surprise, they provided the service for free & turnaround was just a few days! Great customer service! I use no other brands & you should accept no substitutes ;-)

Best pick so far
Posted by Lenwood on 3rd Jan 2016
I started searching for the best guitars I could find about 4-5 years ago. I've bought and sold quite a few and have three Martins, a Gibson, and a Taylor at the present time that are the best of the best to my liking of all I've ever played. But for much longer than that (over 20 years) I've been using thin picks because I didn't know any better. Then I decided to start searching for the best picks that would make my guitars sound their best. I had to literally force myself to play with medium picks at first then eventually thick ones. I hated every minute of it and almost quit more than once and reverted back to the clickity clack of the thin pick because it felt right but sounded terrible. Eventually, I turned the corner and found with a light grip I could play with almost anything and started loving thick picks - the way they felt and especially the way they sounded. I have shell, horn, bone, fossilized ivory, turtle (legal red eared slider), acrylic, Wegen, and Blue Chip. They all sound awesome and have their own feel, tone, and look - just like guitars. No time to go into all of them, but my first Blue Chip was a TD40. I absolutely love the pick for flat picking. It pulls superior tone from individual strings that is thick and loud. It does almost stick to your fingers and feels great except that it feels a little too thin to me. It also has a little too much flex and sounds a little dull when strumming. I think the Wegen sounds a bit better overall but I don't like the shape of the Wegen and definitely can't hold on to it. And then I just got the Blue Chip TD50. It still feels incredibly thin, but now less flexible and much less dull. It's a fantastic "do everything pick." It glides across the strings, feels great, pulls superior tone, is bright enough to strum with, and I'm using it almost all the time now. Fantastic.
