TAD-50 3R is an amazing pick!!
Posted by Mike Casey on 14th May 2019
I love the speed bevel and the equal round corners allow you to pick it up and just play. The pick is very fluid and smooth! I would recommend this pick to any bluegrass player!

Simply the best...
Posted by Steve Bennett on 3rd Sep 2018
Yes, it's a cliché and yes, they're expensive but there's nothing to touch these picks; feel, tone, quality of workmanship, the lot.
I use the TAD50-3R for mandolin and while Wegen dedicated mandolin picks (from Europe) are good, these are better.
Just don't lose one!

A Flatpicker's Delight
Posted by Mark Wilkerson on 2nd Jul 2018
The TAD-50 is a "tad" larger than the TPR-50. The rounded tips and beveled edges of the pick result in a warm, smooth, tight and punchy tone.

A Loyal Customer Since 2008.
Posted by Jeff on 1st Jan 2018
I selected this pick because I generally use TD picks for strumming, but since this pick has a more rounded tip, I knew it would be less bright and warmer than my TD picks for lead or single-string playing. I am very satisfied with the sound and playability of this pick. Perhaps because of its shape, I believe I can feel it sliding off the strings with less friction than other picks. It sticks to your fingers, but slides off the strings! Of course, Blue Chip is a great company and it has been a pleasure dealing with them whenever I've needed to write or talk to someone directly. I've never completed a transaction with Blue Chip and been unhappy. I want to like my TD picks more, but I really love this shape of TAD-3R. At any shape, in terms of quality, Blue Chips are the best picks ever made.

Great mando pick. It grips you and it glides over the strings!

Never, ever slips
Posted by Cathy Harlow on 2nd Nov 2017
I love this plectrum. I use it for my mando and guitar. They are difficult to find in my dark brown carpet or at the campground, so I have a pouch for each one on each instrument. Now all I have to do is remember to put them in it! That is a small cost to protect a GREAT product.

Just awesome
Posted by Dusty Elmer on 30th Oct 2017
After hearing all the buzz and hype around Blue Chip picks I finally bit the bullet and ordered one up. The service was fast, and I had it within a few days of ordering. I can’t believe how great it sounds on my D18. It’s improved my speed and accuracy as well. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

the Best Pick made
Posted by David Flaa on 10th Aug 2017
For the nearly sixty years that I have been playing guitar, I have searched for the ideal guitar pick. The perfect pick still eludes me, but the Blue Chip TAD 3R, comes as close to perfect as I have ever found. The stiffness, feel and release off the strings is just what I have always looked for. The three rounded edges and bevel makes for a smooth release and consistent feel showing very little wear after all the hours I have put on theses picks. The 3Rs are as effective on the guitar as it is on my mandolin. They are the only picks I need and the only one I will use.

TAD50-3R for Mandolin, Mandola, and Mandocello
Posted by Brian Ebie on 26th May 2017
I love this pick. I used to play mandolin family instruments quite a lot in the 90's... (which was only like 10 years ago, right?) Anyway... during the past couple years I've started playing again in earnest and was looking for something that would really improve my speed and sound (besides practicing). Just kidding. The TAD50-3R was exactly what I was searching for. It plays with ease, and I instantly noticed an improvement in the tone of my instruments. The bevel on the pick made contact in just the right way to bring out the depth of tone of the instruments. The rounded edges are perfect for fast tunes like Whiskey Before Breakfast and have enough point for individual note and tremolo playing. I love these picks. Thanks much!
