    Re: Morgan Monroe Mandolins

    I have the black F style I think they call it the 'Phantom of the Opry'.
    The only complaint I have about it is it's lack of volume but if you have a loud playing style it seems to make up for it, or...

    Re: Your favorite Pick Size

    I like huge triangles about twice that size. It helps with my phobia of dropping my pick in the middle of the perfectly flawless Bill Monroe inspired solo and triangle so I never worry which...
