Greta pick
Posted by Aviv Naamani on 31st Aug 2020
This is the most comfortable pick I have found and it sounds great. The only pick I like a bit better for tone is the CT 55 but this is right there next to it.

The Perfect Pick
Posted by Christopher Kralles on 13th May 2020
I have tried a dozen picks. This brand and model for mandolin is superior. Size is just right, nice and stiff, and perfect tone. I also like the single radius for mellow picking and tremolo. No issues with wear either. This pick has a nice tacky natural feel to it.

Awesome product
Posted by J Bragg on 4th May 2020
I already had a CT version of this pick and actually like the 60 vs the 55 CT for myself, though I still use them both. The 1-R is nice because on of the 3 corners is radiused for when I tremolo but the other 2 corners have the same edge as the CT 55 does. To be honest, I would not part with one or the other.

TAD-1R60
Posted by Gary Ridgeway on 20th Apr 2020
I use this pick in two separate bands playing mandolin and acoustic guitar. I have found it to be great for all kinds of play including a mandolin chop or picking out a solo on guitar. The thickness suits my style of play no matter what style of music I’m playing. I bought the first one over a year ago and just purchased a second one with my name on it. I highly recommend this pick. I’ve used several picks in the past including tortoise shell. Blue Chip is hands down the best!
Bands are Strungover and Overdrive in Dayton, Ohio.

A game changer for mandolin
Posted by Dan Williford on 6th Feb 2020
took some getting used to, but finally found the feel. Tone clarity and ease of play - getting through the strings is markedly easier. I'd been using a blunter tip profile in order to smooth out the tone, but with this pick, I can use the pointier tip and still get a very smooth attack. Brilliant for fast and/or nuanced playing as well - dynamic control takes much less conscious effort

Good Pick
Posted by Umer on 5th Nov 2019
TAD60-1R is my favorite of the 3 Blue Chip picks I've tried. Good for acoustic and electric. My brother in law took my pick when he heard it even though it had my name engraved on it. I just ordered another, this time without a speed bevel.
Immediate improvement on acoustic in attack, warmth and overtones compared with the TPR60 with speed bevel.
Also prefer the TAD60-1R on electric.

The perfect pick... really!
Posted by Thane Glenn on 1st Jul 2019
I am reviewing as a mandolin player. First, in my experience--and I have tried many, many of the best rated picks out there--BlueChip picks are absolutely unparalleled. I don't need to spend much time reiterating what other reviewers have amply noted. These picks bring out the depth of woody tones of the instrument; they also produce a clean and focused sound--bright but not sharp; they glide smoothly but don't slip; they last virtually forever. I have several different kinds of BC picks. I've mostly settled on the TAD-1R 60 as my go-to pick for my modern mandos: five stars doesn't capture how highly I esteem this particular pick. Let me add here another wonderful thing about BlueChip. Their return policy. You can return a pick (non-personalized) within 30 days and get a replacement or a refund. I have twice returned a pick to receive a different pick instead. The service is prompt, no questions asked, really top-notch. I have nothing but praise for this company and its products. I do occasionally use other picks for particular sounds and situations--Wegen, EML, Wolle, Dunlop mostly--but I'm using BlueChips 80% of the time. If premium sound and playability are your goals, these picks are worth every penny.

Just excellent
Posted by Bruce on 10th Apr 2018
Just bought my second BC. I bought a TAD-1R60 2 years ago on the advice of an experienced mandolin player, after having settled on Wegen TF140's for practically all my instruments. The difference between the BC & the Wegen is astounding. For my bluegrass mandolin, there's nothing else that sounds as good or pulls more personality out of it. The Wegen, while good, is not the sound I had in my head, whereas the BC is it and more.
I have used PrimeTone 1.5's, but I personally don't see any similarity between them and Blue Chips. They're not in the same ballpark!

Tonal Versatility
Posted by Todd on 28th Feb 2018
The TAD-1R 60 is one of the best picks I've ever used. I love the different point/corner shapes. Its perfect for drawing different tonal qualities out of the instrument. Pointy for a brighter tone, round for a darker tone. Love this pick!

Blue Chip TAD-1R 60
Posted by Mike P on 24th Jan 2018
Well I now know what all the fuss is about. I could never see myself paying $35.00 for a pick, and believe me, I bet I spent over a hundred buy other picks instead. But I finally gave in, and I am glad I did. This pick has an amazing tone and brings out the best in my guitars and mandolins. It grips amazingly well. Having the one side rounded is perfect for those extended tremolo parts. I find myself using it the majority of the time. One thing is how clear and sweet my mandolin sounds when picking lightly. I would buy it again in a sec. In fact, I am about to order another one because I love this one so much.
