I like this pick
Posted by Keithro on 26th Sep 2020
I'm a guitar player and like using rounded edges. To me it helps the pick roll off the strings better when I strum the acoustic guitar. I don't care for a harsh sound when I strum. This pick is BIG and easy to hold onto. When I play the boom chuck bluegrass rhythm it's easy to pick out the root and 5th note of the chords I'm playing. So the note strum note stum not only sounds good it's easy to do with this pick. Lead guitar players may also like this pick but I'm reviewing it as a acoustic rhythm guitar player because that is what I mostly use it for.

Average Pick
Posted by John F Putnam on 22nd Sep 2020
Got the pick for a mandolin. The sound is a little on the treble side, and I would probably like a heavier version of this shape. It's a good pick but not as smooth sounding some heavy picks of the same shape. I would try maybe one other BC pick but cost will not allow me to try several that I may or may not use.

For players of any level
Posted by Bluegrass Picker on 9th Sep 2020
BC Picks are not just for professional players. These picks don't move around on you. They stay in position. I got the TAD40-3R to try to blend the Kenny Smith 40 and the TP 48 used by Bryan Sutton. I liked the 40 thickness, but the TP 48 size. Worked perfect for me. I can play much faster bluegrass songs with this pick and play more clean.

It's all about the speed bevel
Posted by Dane on 3rd May 2020
There's something unusual in a good way about these picks. It's the way they slide off the strings. The material and the bevel give the pick a smooth sliding feel coming across the strings. You can turn your wrist to change the attack and release angle. It causes a different feel compared to all the previous picks I've tried and a smoother sound. Hard to describe, easy to use.

Great Pick

Bought this a couple of months ago and I love it. It is by far the best pick I've ever had. This is the only pick I use now.

TAD40-3R: a terrific pick for electric guitar
Posted by Richard Defendorf on 13th Dec 2019
I prefer the 40-3R for electric guitar, the 60-3R for mandolin and acoustic guitar strung with mediums. Both picks are fast and easy to grip.

Great pick

Larger than most I've used. Easy to hold and control. I wasn't sure I was going to like it.

fantastic pick but need time and practice to properly master it
Posted by Paul Rodriguez on 30th Oct 2018
Hi,
I play bluegrass. For 35 years I used a standard extra heavy Fender pick. The TAD40-3R is another world, more volume, tone, expressiveness. But I had to change my right hand position to play this pick at its best, and I have not completely succeeded so far (2 weeks). But it is worth the change !

A softer sound
Posted by Thomas Baumgartel on 24th Jul 2018
The rounded edge of this pick gives my mandolin a softer sound and seems good for slower melodies. Usually I prefer a sharper point, but when a tune calls for this kind of sound, this is one great pick.

Great custom job
Posted by KW on 7th May 2018
I actually asked if they could make this pick as a 35 instead of a 40, and was told it would be no problem. A few days later, I had the pick in my hand as promised. It's nice having two picks of similar shape but different gauges to choose between.
