it's nice to know about different techniques to use as desired and sounds like you're a pretty experienced picker. My take is it's art and you should enjoy it, so do what you want.
A couple days ago my new Northfield Quickstep mandola arrived and I am quite impressed with this fine instrument. I got the Ox Amber/spirit varnish finish, and it is just gorgeous. I've played the...

Very happy to reacquire a 1923 Sheraton brown snakehead this week I sold from the Classifieds in 2009. Still had the original email correspondence, the buyer still had the mandolin and more luckily...

You can buy this stuff on amazon.
