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.

I had seen so many of my friends and heros using the blue Chip pick, I had to buy one. I am still getting used to it, but I do love it already. It really does sit in the fingers nicely after holding just a little while. The sound is really terrific!

This is my second TAD-60 pick from BlueChip Picks for one very simple reason, they work as well as any pick I have used on a mandolin and they last long enough to justify the price. I play an average of 1 - 1 1/2 hr per day and my first one is still working good after 1 year but I felt it was time for a new one. Once I used the new one it did glide off the stings just a little smoother but the 1 year old pick still is not worn much that I don't use it as well.

I love this pick. Used the CT-55 and love that one too, but for where I'm at player-wise, the TAD60-3R just fits!

It's symmetrical so you can play it in any orientation the same. It's got a good grip and doesn't slide around in my fingers. It's durable and won't wear down over time. But most importantly, it's got a great tone "crisp but warm"

Superb tone and volume control playing everything from Bluegrass to Jazz on Dreadnoughts and Hollow bodied electrics. I found my long lost TAD60-3r and had so much fun with it that I ordered another...

I was introduced to blue chip picks from fellow musicians. I was so grateful for the opportunity to borrow one for a few weeks and really do a comparison to my other picks that I use. I very much like the feel while playing along with the warm sound. PS: I purchased the TPR60. I would highly recommend this pick to all my friends.
