Re: Are they really worth it?
I have a bucket of picks.
I have tried most of the talked about Mandolin picks.
A lot of them are OK and are usable.
A few are head and shoulders above the rest.
I my favorite pick is the Blue Chip, by far.
Absolutely worth the cost.
I have used it for a couple of years and it is still rocking.
My secondary pick is the Wegen TF140.
It is also awesome, but has a more bluegrass brashness to the tone.
Sometimes I use the Wegen for a different sound, but for most things I always use the Blue Chip.
I say try them out and see what works for you.
If you don't like the BlueChip, which I doubt, you can always sell it to someone here.
They are the preferred pick of a good many Cafe members.
