It's exceedingly difficult to find a pick that delivers on all fronts, namely feel, tone, and durability. Indeed, before BlueChip, I'd never enjoyed more than two of those three important qualities in the same pick.
Though I'm always hesitant to gush, I can safely say that Mr. Goins makes the most balanced, empowering pick known to me. It almost literally sticks to your fingers, thus minimizing on-the-fly adjustments, drives through the string consistently on both up and down strokes, and faithfully transmits what you and your mandolin have to offer tonally, all this while staying at the top of its game for far longer than I've ever experienced.
Three cheers for BlueChip!

"The BlueChip pulls a great tone out of the mandolin. Since I put the pick in my hand it's all I use. This pick is amazing! Better than tortoise shell! Never needs polishing!"

Ok folks! I've tried them ALL! And now I'm ALL OVER this Bluechip pick. AMAZING! Clean clear tone but with a nice darkness to it too. What else can I say?
I am one of those guys who is brutal on picks. I can't believe it, The Blue Chip folks has really done it here. The biggest thing for me was that every pick I liked would get scratchy sounding midway through a show. And some that don't tend to have this flicky sound on the front part of the note as it come off the string. This thing NEVER gets scratchy and has a sweet dark tone that doesn't change over time.
I'm LOVIN IT!
Thanks guys,
Mike

"I just wanted to drop you a note and say a huge THANK YOU!! Your picks are simply amazing. They not only allow me to draw the tone I want to hear from my mandolin, they are extremely durable and fast. They seem to just glide across the string. There is no drag or rasp that a lot of other picks give you.
I'm so happy to finally meet you and get ahold of these wonderful picks. It's my pleasure to use these and I'll be using these as long as you make 'em!!"

As a luthier, I'm always searching for ways to get the most out of my instruments. Usually it's a new technique I'll use during construction or finishing. This time, it's the Blue Chip pick! I wish all my instruments were played with one of these! The tone and feel from this pick is tremendous! Thanks Matthew!

Love the picks. They have no pick noise, are fast off the strings, and the lack of wear is UNREAL!

I've been using the same pick for many, many years now. I tried tortoise shell at one time and it didn't work for me. I have now found a pick that's more what I'm used to as far as tone, fell, size and the no wear is great. I'm using the TD40 and I recommend it highly.

The Blue Chip is an awesome pick for what ever instrument you want to play.

"More durable than anything I've used. It's super easy to hold and gets a great tone. Blue Chip has delivered."
--Roy Curry Two Time National Guitar Flat Pick Championship |
I just wanted to let you know that I've used a Blue Chip on every show since you gave me one and I'm hooked. They don't wear or get rough edges. The Tone you can get with these picks is unbelievable. These picks are, by far, the most consistent thing I've ever used.

Thanks so much for getting us some picks. I am loving everything about these picks! I spent the rest of the weekend giving it to everybody to try out. I took two different picks for myself. A teardrop 50 for the mandolin and a triangle rounded for my guitar. I wish I could tell you which one I love more. You can quote me saying that I have finally found something better than my Dunlop Ultex pick. The sound is amazing and it wears like a champ!

Hello Matthew, I've been using the picks you gave me at SPBGMA and like them very much. I like the way they glide off the strings and I see no wear at all on them. Great pick. Congratulations on a great product.
