A thick rounded pick is the choice of many mandolin players because the thickness pulls out good tone, and the rounded tips glide over the paired strings without digging in. This also makes tremolo easier and smoother. The size of the octave mandolin, almost the same scale length as a guitar, demands a larger pick than a mandolin. This pick combines the size of a guitar pick with the rounded tip of a mandolin pick, exactly what an OM needs. The extremely smooth, almost lubricated material glides along on rapid passages. Is there any downside? I like hold a pick in my mouth sometimes to free my hands. This material doesn’t taste very good, so I stick it in the strings.

Years ago, I was reluctant to pay a premium price for a pick, then one day, after reading so many glowing reviews, I decided to try one. Within a few minutes, I became a convert. The TAD-60 3R suits my purposes for guitar and mandolin perfectly. It wasn’t long before I bought one for each of my instruments so I wouldn’t have to worry about forgetting my BC. For me, these picks are essential. If I buy another guitar, I’ll order one for it.

Awesome pick! By far, my personal favorite of all time! Tone is just right, and I love the rounded edge as opposed to the standard speed bevel. Very smooth strumming, and it almost acts as a volume compressor in terms of volume control. You wont get those large volume increases upon pick attack. love this pick!!

Great pick, but a little heavy for me. Returned then for .45's

Since trying this pick, I won't use any other ... keep a spare on hand (just in case I misplace it). Beveled edges help with faster, smoother picking. Have bought a few for friends to try .... they're hooked too!

Since I first tried one of these about 10 years ago, I have not looked back. I have one for all my instruments. They produce the cleanest, fullest sound of ant pick I’ve ever used. And I love how it heats up in your hand and gets just tacky enough to stay on your fingers.

Until now, I didn't believe a pick could make a huge difference in ton and playability. My blue-chip pick has brought out the true tone of my mandolin and my Martin D10E. And playing has become effortless! SO, if you're on the fence about buying blue chip picks, get yourself a couple (I had mine engraved,) you will not regret it!

Best qualities of materials and craftsmanship. There are many very stiff picks out there but none with the same dark, warm harmonically rich attack.
