I have found it is easier to play softer, or quieter, with a stiff pick than loud with a flexible pick. Having said that, 2.0 mm is my limit on mandolin and bass guitar. 1.5 on guitar. This may say...
:grin:
We all must find our own path. Without pleasure, whether from practice, playing, or just sounds. Each has it's own reward.
I have been playing the bass exclusively for months now. Last week I...
^ That.
I will add that "good" can only be measured by your pleasure in playing.
ETA, But I too am a fly fisherman. That may skew things.
Among the people I play with I am the best mandolin player because I am the only mandolin player, I am a 10.
Among mandolin players.... I mostly suck.
Neither of those ratings inhibits my...
It intrigues me.
I am 57 years old and I can still remember my musically close minded father yelling. "YOU CALL THAT MUSIC?"
A lot of you remind me of him.
I saw them last week at Ravinia. It's a great venue for that kind of music and they playing was exactly what you'd expect.
It has the nut width I like... now I just need to find another 18K laying around.
I'm sorry...banjo?
I like the TAD-1R 60 for the mandolin. I have a Martin guitar that absolutely LOVES the Jazz 40 LG.
I like the look, but it is the sound that will sell it...or not.
That's one heck of a limb.
About as wide as the next guys I suppose.

and while it has been lost in the shuffle and may take a while to get, Red Bear is worthy of consideration.
Me too, and while I probably could have gotten a real Loar with what it cost me, it remains the best money I have ever spent.
I would pay 35.00 for his right hand though.

In my youth I played for money. That usually meant waiting till 4 am for some surly club owner to give me 50.00
Today I would rather play for free and get home before midnight....or at least 2.
Guitar players carry picks all the time because you never know when you may run into a guitar that needs playing and you know you need YOUR pick. That is why they lose picks. I know this because I am...
Blue Chip picks are VERY easy to reshape. As a matter of fact almost too easy. Anything coarser than 1000 grit sandpaper may remove material faster than you want.
It is one of the mysteries of...
I could be wrong but I believe Mike Marshall had the fret board replaced with a wider nut on his loar.
For myself that extra 16th of an inch makes a huge difference.
That is so cool.
I would put up a sign in my yard offering to saw stuff for folks for free just so I could use it.
