Blue Chip Lovers: TP or TPR?

This is good information, as I have 4 TDs...2 40s and 2 45s, and was thinking of ordering a TP1R for the exact reason you specified. I find the TP and TAD both too big and awkward. Thinking 1 rounded edge though might make the overall size of the pick more tolerable.

Bren, if you order one, would love to hear your review once you play into it.

For me, it's a TPR-50 for the mandolin, and TD-35 for guitar (acoustic and electric).

I just ordered my first Blue Chip last week and decided to go with the TP1R-50. I figured that since this is my first one it would be nice to get the one rounded tip so that I could evaluate which I like better - it's really like two picks in one. I have to say that so far I like the standard, non-rounded tip more. The rounded tip produces a sound that is a little dull for my tastes. Still, I'm glad that I gave it a try.

Jay, thanks. Yeah, the "R" version looks like it'd be ideal for mando.

take care,

Each of my four dreads and my Jumbo has a TAD-50, and a Wegen TF140.
Each of my smaller bodied guitars has a TAD40 and a Wegen TF120.
My Martin D12-20 has a TAD-60 but it is to sweet so I prefer a Wegen TF140.
TAD 50s 3r for mando.

A BC pick costs about the same as a three pack of Elixir strings.
The strings will last,maybe none months....a year?
The BCs will last a life time.

However, since I've learned how to bevel and polish picks I'm enjoying the soud of Tortex 1.14s properly finished and D'Andrea 1.5 m/m Pro plecs.

All 346 style: three tips, more to grip, bargain.

Silly, sounds like you're loaded up, with a full quiver.
