5 The One
Posted by Stewart Campbell on 2nd May 2023
I’ve tried quite a few mandolin picks. I ordered this because I thought it would be perfect. It is! A lot of individual things I liked about different picks are all in this one. Excellent time, and you can play light or really dig in. The chop, even on entry level mandolin is excellent.

5 Found my favorite Blue Chip
Posted by Unknown on 10th Apr 2023
I've tried 4 BC picks, a TAD40-1R, a TP48, a TPR60 and now this TAD60-1R. I liked the tone of all of them, the 40 gave a slightly brighter sound which was nice for chords, and the 48 had an all around nice tone for general stuff on the guitar. My least favorite was the TPR 60, I just like the larger footprint of the TAD series for using the rounded edge better. The TAD60-1R is my favorite so far, I am getting great tone flat picking on my D28, and the predictability/feedback from the pick is just what I wanted. I can also use it on the mandolin with ease and get a fantastic tone with that as well. I mostly stick to the rounded edge I feel the tone is best with that and it gives you lots of options with dynamics just by changing the pick angle. I will likely order a couple more of these just in case my first one disappears.

5 best pick so far
Posted by John anderson on 26th Dec 2022
The best of the best I’ve tried so many different kinds how do you say but for some reason the blue chip stand above the rest tone wise the very dark which is what I like And now that I learned that they’ll put the grip holes in any pic that I order hands-down for me that the best and the Customer service are the best that I’ve ever dealt with great people great company great product

5 As good as it gets...

Pick shape is subjective, thickness is subjective... but for me, right now, this one is the absolute best Bluegrass flatpicker I've ever used. Don't think, just buy.

5 most versatile pick
Posted by Christopher J Kralles on 2nd Dec 2022
Love this pick. Highly versatile. It’s two picks in one. Rounded corner for mellow tone, sharper radius for attack. Just the right thickness.

5 Best pics
Posted by David Malley on 9th Sep 2022
Really great pics. Tried probably 20 different compositions, models and styles over the last year. They are less noisy across the strings. Easy to hold onto and with Picker's grip wonderfully grippy. Great bevel. Fast and accurate across the strings when alternate picking. I like the 40 size. Tried the 100, 80, 60,40. Depends what I playing to a certain extent but 40 and 60 are my favorites right now. Expensive but pics have now become "highly valued" and taken care of versus being almost a throw away previously. The only other pic that I found comes close is the Martin Luxe.

5 best choice of picks
Posted by CK on 27th Jul 2022
The beauty of this pick is that the 1R affords you a second pick for the price of one. Use sharp or radius depending on the tone you want. Sharp for loud and punctuated, radius for a more mellowed tone. Also this is the perfect thickness for mandolin.

5 Just right for playing acoustic
Posted by Joseph Progler on 18th Mar 2022
Feels just right for playing on my Taylor acoustic. The right balance and bevel, and not too stiff nor to pliant, like many other picks.
