5 The toughest, sound worthiest, bestest pick ever
Posted by Bill Stovall on 24th Dec 2013
I thought I'd never pay that kind of money for a pick, but I did, and I'm glad I did. The sound compares to no other, at any price. I use the TAD-3R 40. three round corners with beveled edges. Its great for bluegrass pickin. Matter of fact, I should be on commission, because everytime I pass it around at a jam, someone says where can I get one. I cannot really speak for the other models, because this is the only one I've used. Order the shape and thickness of the pick you use now, and hold on. I'll be using these as long as they make them. The only reason to buy another is if you lose it, because you can't wear them out.

5 Well worth the money!
Posted by Mary in San Diego on 20th Aug 2013
In my not so humble opinion this rather pricey pick is worth every penny. All my guitars sound better when played with this pick than with any other I've tried and the beveling and rounded corners make it feel smoother to use, too. I find the larger size easy to hold with my arthritic fingers & thumb. One review implied that it wouldn't work well for playing leads - my teacher plays intricate, difficult fast leads with it in performance all the time and recommends it to his students. It's a great product!

5 If you want a little darker TAD-40
Posted by Mel Hughes on 21st Feb 2013
For me, the TAD-40R delivers a little darker tone than the TAD-40. So if you love the feel of the 40 but want somethimg not as bright, the 40R delivers in spades. The attacks are not as crisp with the rounded corners but the tone is velvety smooth.

5 The Greatest
Posted by B Stovall on 27th Dec 2012
I lost my BC-pick the first part of December, and was totally upset due to the fact that was the only one I had. Good thing for me my wife, and Santa came through with a replacment. I'm whole again!

4 TAD-40 3R
Posted by Mark on 16th Nov 2012
I have been incorporating this pick in slowly as it is much larger that standard picks and is taking some time to handle. It does have a smooth, fast texture. I like the bevel, wish it had just a bit more. I believe it will become a part of my equipment. Now... I have read about the price tag before I purchased this, so I knew what I was in for but... $39.95 with shipping? Seems a little bit excessive to me.
