Plesant supprise
Posted by Peter.J.Ross on 11th May 2015
I bought 2 picks, a 40 and a 50, not knowing the difference. I played the 40 first and found it more than good nice and bright, just one of those things when you pick up something good it just let's you do it better. I have been trying picks hand over fist for the past 4 years and at last I have found "The Pick" for me. I then played the 50 and found it muted compared to the 40, it is heavier but not the pick for me. Thanx for the pick, If I ever need another one it just means that this one has been nicked!

It doesn't cost more to go first class, you simply can't stay as long!
Posted by Jim Morrison on 6th Aug 2014
I'm a novice picker, and purchased two blue chip picks three years ago. I gave one away and kept one. I loved the tone and volume it provided, but thought I was breaking too many strings. I switched back to a nylon, tried several types and ended up going back to the TAD-R3. I don't think I'll ever wear it out, plus I have the added benefit of keeping up with it 'cause you don't want to replace it. I won't complain about the pick price since I use Thomastik strings on my Gibson F5G. It's a great sound all around and I think you get exactly what you pay for!!

Mixed feelings
Posted by Floyd Gorsuch on 3rd Apr 2014
I believe a pick determines tone, volume, "shape", and speed. The blue chip is the smoothest I have ever used. Comes off the string so well. But even the 40 is much too thick to throw a bright, illuminated tone. I reshaped the pick, reduced its size, thinned it, and drilled three small holes in it to improve the grip. Oooo, did I really do all that? Yup. If I could buy one that had the flex of a Dunlop .88
combined with the way the Blue Chip feels on the string, I would be an advocate.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
