1. I just found my tone!

   Posted by Matt Lindsey on 27th Jan 2013

   What more can I say? I have been a contest player since the early 90's and have always liked tortoise shell as my "go to" pick. I have experimented with different picks as well, but never quite found exactly what I wanted. Last year I purchased a TPR50 and liked it pretty well, but for my style, it came across a little darker sounding than I wanted. I just got the TP50 and it took me about a day to get used to the sharper corners, but once I got settled in to it, I felt like my tone was clearer and my playing was cleaner. I can't imagine finding anything that could be better.

2. BlueChip Wins Hands Down

   Posted by Jim McArthur on 15th Jan 2013

   I've been a pick junkie for a long time now trying everything I could get my hands on. For the last three years I've been using custom made genuine tortoise pick made from old brushes, combs etc. I thought they were the best you could get until I tried a friends BlueChip TP40. I was blown away by it although I found it a little thin. I subsequently ordered two TP50 picks and have used nothing else since. They glide over the strings better than anything I've tried.

3. It's worth the money

   Posted by John B. on 9th Dec 2012

   I'm a novice guitar player, playing mostly bluegrass. I've tried 100's of inexpensive picks and could never find one that satisfied me for one reason or another. I've been curious about Blue Chip picks for a long time but thought there's no way a pick is good enough to pay that much money for one. Then a friend loaned me his at a bluegrass jam and I was hooked. I first ordered a TAD 50 which I like but wanted to try a slightly smaller pick so I ordered a TP50. I prefer the size of the TP50 best. If you don't own a Blue Chip and have been thinking of trying one, you won't be disappointed.

4. I am convinced.

   I wasn't too impressed when I first played it on my acoustic. But when I tried it on my strat, boy.. it was just unbelievable. That sort of like finger picked tone I was searching for, it was right there! Simply amazing..

5. Haven't tried tortoise but...

   Posted by Tyler L. on 18th Jun 2012

   I really could not be happier with this pick. I've played mandolin for about 5 years now and have only in the last couple years started really trying to find a perfect pick instead of jut using what's around - I needed something between a pointed triangular .80mm clayton for precision, and the jazz mando pick for body (both in thickness and in sound)
   
   The TP 50 is exactly what I was looking for - it's slightly thinner than the jazz mando pick, and also more pointed; it's also thicker than the clayton so no snapping, and slightly smaller so my pick noise on the fretboard extension is diminished.
   
   This is all in addition to the oddly sticky grip one has on this pick, it glides so smoothly over any number of strings, but it just DOESN'T move in my fingers. I would absolutely buy another one of these... whether I lose this one or not.

6. was not sure what to expect

   Posted by greg in bama on 19th Jun 2011

   my father's day gift this year. when it came in the mail I got my HD28V out and wow!!
   I do alot of flat picking with some rythym and the speed and ease was not what I expected at all. All the fancy instruments and picks are not what makes a true musician but having and excellent tool as the TP 50 allows me to really bring out the tone and power from my instruments.
   Going to order KS40 for my mandolin next.well pleased and recomend blue chip picks to any player looking for the ultimate sound and speed all players are looking for
