TPR50

Blue Chip picks are FANTASTIC, but you need to find the one that's right for you. The slightly rounded corners on this one are perfect for mandolin, but the pick feels (to me) a bit small. I traded it in for the TAD 3R 60, which is (for me) ideal: it has the same gentle corners, but is nice & big, easier to hang onto.

I like that it slides over the strings well and that it is easy to hold on to. The tone is brighter than I had hoped, so it's another nice pick.

Bluechip Picks changed my playing and my sound in the best possible way. Sounds great loud or soft. Variability of tone is amazing. The material is hard enough to be extremely durable, and yet there is very little noise on the attack (a problem with some hard picks). Countless players think nothing of dropping a hundred bucks on an effects pedal that comes with a cheap battery. Bluechip picks are a steal. Do yourself a favor.

My instructor introduced me to this pick. It has been an awesome pick to play with. I’m fairly new at playing mandolin. I play now with more confidence and I have no trouble with the puck slipping out of my fingers. My instructors says I playing louder and faster with this pick. I never knew a really good pick could make such a big difference. Thank you for this design. I’ll be ordering more in the future.

I've been using these picks since 2016 when my flatpicking guitar teacher Roberto Dalla Vecchia has recommended them, since then I've only used those, I had two, now I'm four and I'm a happy guitarist.

Believe me, I was a skeptic at first. After receiving the TPR50, I was hooked. The comfortability and the tone are simply unmatched. If you're looking for a pick that will really produce some really crisp and warm tones, the rounded corner on the TPR 50 will do it and the size is comfortable and not too small. Great for the Bluegrass lead guitar and flat pickers I now own a TP50, TPR50, TD60, and the JD Crowe model thumb pick for my banjo. If you've spend $2,000 or more on your guitar, what's another 40 bucks?

Since first using Blue Chip TPR50 and Kenny Smith picks for mandolin, guitar, mandola & tenor guitar, some 7 years ago, I have been unable to use anything else. There is no competition.

The TPR pick is the right size and shape for my hand. I use the 40 for my guitar (Santa Cruz OM) and the 50 for my mandolin (Northfield). Other picks just don't sound as good. And these picks last forever. Get your engraved so no one can steal them without feeling guilty.

This is the only pick I use anymore be it Mandolin, Acoustic, Gypsy, Telecaster, you name it. I have dozens of every size and style and I've settled on this one for all my picking needs. Couldn't be happier.
