This Blue Chip TD50 Pick and the compadre picks, the CT55, TAD50, and others have really been a revelation this year. Pricier yes, but worth every penny due to their longevity, materials and precise nature. Don't believe the hype? Stop by the store and try one out for yourself in the acoustic room upstairs. These have been given the big thumbs up by our repair shop manager and member of The Midday Ramblers, Mike Horan. This TD is a standard teardrop shape, with two rounded corners and one sharper playing corner, in a 50/1000 of an inch(1.25mm) thickness. Professionally machined, hand beveled, and laser etched. This Blue Chip TD50 Pick is one of our Best Top 10 Essential Accessories for 2010!

This Blue Chip CT55 Pick is a very pleasant surprise, as is the whole line of Blue Chips! This one was custom designed by Chris Thile for his personal use. These raise eyebrows when you look at the cost, but everyone...everyone who has played one has been blown away. These are made with exacting specs and according to our shop manager Mike H., "These are longer wearing and more consistent than tortoise shell - and hey, they aren't illegal." He was really surprised at the differences between the picks, how great they sound and hold up in the long run. Don't take our word for it, come in the store and try one out for yourself. This particular CT55 is very similar in size and shape to their TAD line of picks. However this one is manufactured in 55/1000 of an inch(1.4mm) thickness and has a custom bevel per Thile's own specs. This is the exact pick that Thile is currently using. Check out Thile's take on Blue Chip Picks here.

This Blue Chip TAD50 Pick is our repair shop manager, Mike H.'s favorite. This is longer lasting and better sounding than tortoise picks and as he is quick to point out, legal! It's also more consistent than tort picks which can really range. We're happy to provide a selection of Blue Chips at Mass St. Music for you to try out when you visit the store and make up your own mind. Mike's take on this pick is that he prefers it over the similar CT55 - the bevel is just slightly different but that made a big difference in sound, with the CT having more high end definition. They cost a heck of a lot more than other picks, but the durability and tone of the Blue Chip Pick is quickly becoming legendary.

"Super comfortable, this Griffith Pick bovine hoof pick is very expressive, projecting a bright, articulate sound that is wonderful for bluegrass. MOOOOO-ve on down to the store or click to add this little bessie to your tonal arsenal." - Mass Street Staff
The pick is the brainchild of a good friend of the store, and has become one of our favorite accessories. These are very cool picks, hand crafted from bovine hoofs. Great for a lot of styles and our own John Flynn has become a big fan. These come off the string nicely and are great for faster types of playing as well. These give you a metallic yet not harsh tone. Great for just about any player!

Autumn and winter dry air can rob your acoustic of its natural moisture, which can easily lead to cracks and bridges pulling up, so be sure to protect your acoustic with a good humidifier like the Kyser Lifeguard Acoustic Humidifier, one of our favorites. It's super easy to use and unlike some other models, if used properly, there's no muss, no fuss and no accidents.
Basically it's a sponge inside a hockey puck looking device. You just get the sponge wet, squeeze it out so it's no longer dripping, put it back in the 'puck' then wipe dry the outside of it. Then just slide it under the strings (air holes down) and it sits easily in your guitar's soundhole. Check it every week and a half or so (this totally varies per guitar, but check regularly) and rewet when the sponge when it gets dry and hard. You'll ward off bridge problems and potential cracking caused by dry winter air and the heat in your home. Remember too, the Kyser Lifeguard Acoustic Humidifier, as with any, works best if you keep your guitar in its case when you're not playing it.

Once you get one, you'll agree it's just indispensable.

Autumn and winter dry air can rob your classical guitar of its natural moisture, so be sure to protect your guitar with a humidifier like the Kyser Lifeguard Classical Humidifier, one of our favorites - and made for guitars with smaller soundholes like classicals.
