I've borrowed the audio from the YouTube clip and will now dissect it using Amazing Slow Downer for educational purposes; today's technology is soooo helpful, says a guy who started out trying to...

Sure! By my reckoning, a wee red pill has as much chance of improving my playing as any overpriced pick might :) And anyway, from now on it's a given that I'll be taking a Proplec with my breakfast...

Oh, say it ain't so! Might the impossible-to-quantify 'improvements' in tone achieved from buying a $30 pick instead of a 60c pick be imaginary?? For why else would mandolin giants like Ronnie and...

Just a matter of personal taste. Machine-gun-pace repetition of the same phrases a hundred times in a row, albeit with occasional variances, leaves me cold. I enjoy bluegrass, but can't get excited...

The style of music leaves me (personally) cold, but the technique is astonishing. And at that young age, you know they are only going to get better!

I echo Jamie - but add that I also lack the required abilities. Well done!

At nineteen years old she has subtlety and syncopation and a developing sense of blues/jazz improvisation going on. Amazing, and to me, w-a-y more impressive than kids (or grown-ups) trying for the...

apologies if this one has been linked here before, but a friend pointed me to this great clip of Sarah Jarosz and her band playing a Tom Waits song, Come on up to the house. Fine, fine stuff.

I found the seriously amateurish Facebook page of the guy in NC. Apart from a quite interesting youtube clip of a seemingly pro player demonstrating one of the picks, the page was like a guide on how...

Yes, it stopped the warning coming up. Perhaps the original host was the perceived threat?

I very much like the headstock inlay font and design, though to my eye it might benefit from a little space around it. At the moment it's a bit like type that bleeds just that wee bit too close to...

Don't know if it means anything, but my anti-virus software just rejected that photo you linked, saying a malware threat had been detected.

The ones I got a couple of years ago (maybe further back than that!) might illustrate this point. The green one had plenty of space for my rather large dome, but the red one was a lot more shallow,...

That about sums it up!

At that price, I doubt very much if you're alone!

I haven't, but I'd be interested to hear more about them. How do they compare price-wise to Elixir Nanos?

Too late for Thanton, but I see Trevor has a Jimmy Moon mandolin among his used stock that, by British pricing standards, constitutes a serious bargain - and would be an excellent instrument for...

By all accounts, the decision is an easy one. Either superglue or Canadian bacon.

You're exactly right, Ivan. For once, I wasn't cynical enough! :)

That a minute spent reading the latest thread about this or that deluxe pick that will somehow make you a better player - or at least make you sound like a better player - is a minute I'll never get...

I really enjoyed your video clip, and your new creation sounds and looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing it with us.

This is just depressing. I don't have a hope of ever playing so well as that :(

Oh golly.

I can read Korean - but I can't find the site :)

I'm not familiar with the maker, and can't find 'Tomo' in the builder's section nor on emando.com. Can you point me to a website?
