I have several of your picks and haven't used anything else since the first one I bought. I have turned several friends into blue chip addicts too. I like the TD50 for bluegrass music but I really wish you made a TD 45. I have several TD's and I think a TD 45 would be perfect. So far I haven't purchased a pick I don't enjoy. Keep up the great work.

My custom BlueChip Bluegrass picks arrived today after about a month due to the sluggishness of USPS. I'd recommend getting them couriered. As for the picks, they make other picks feel like sandpaper and make my Martin sound even better than it used to. They feel amazing in your hands and won't go slipping around all over the place. They stick! If you're an acoustic guitarist and looking for sweet tone, smooth feel and aren't prone to losing picks, BlueChip picks are a must!

I have a TD 50 in a pocket attached to every instrument I own (4 guitars and two mandolins). I was given my first Blue Chip pick as a birthday present from my mandolin player who told me, "You might think I'm nuts, but here's a $35 flat pick and once you use it, you'll never look back." That was 6 years ago and since then, I've been doing the same thing for other pickers that I know. Blue Chip Picks rule - no question!

That says it all

Because I am recovering from a bad wrist fracture and temporarily have poor grip strength, tried the TD50. It really does slightly stick to the thumb and forefinger after holding for a few seconds. Easier to grip than the perforated Wegen. Much better tone than the Clayton cork grip. Will probably stick with these even after full recovery

I am an intermediate mando player at best and tone has always been an issue for me. The Bluechip pick has improved my tone immensely. They folks I play with even asked what I had been doing to improve my tone quality so much. The answer was easy: I got a Bluechip Pick!

I did reviews on the TAD 60 and CT 55 also. I gotta tell ya, these picks are VERY VERY GOOD. My Dunlop Tortex 1.0 picks which I used previously feel like dropping from a Bentley to a Toyota. I know it's bad English, but I 'aint goin' back! I chose the TAD 60 over these just because of final detailed personal feel, but I could easily live with either of these picks. Trust me ... if you try these picks, you'll have to come up with some strange excuse why they don't feel good in your hand.

I love this pick! I play mandolin. It was a Christmas present, and although I didn't think I'd ever spend that much on a pick, I'd never go back to the cheap ones. I would replace it in a heartbeat.

Have gotten used to the feel of this pick. Very smooth and solid. Feels just right in my fingers. Have tried other picks since starting with this, and I keep going back to the TD50.

I stood in a long line and bought a 50 at IBMA in Nashville 6 years ago. Unlike other old lady mandolin players, I beat the tar out of my England mandolin with it and it is exactly the same as when I bought it. I only have one, but have bought several others for gifts. Just about everyone I play with uses them, the tone is fantastic.
