I do and the ProPlec recently found it's way back onboard, after a Wegen being primary for over a year. I had some new strings with some brightness that needed to be tamed.

Can't be out of line. I received my two-point two years ago this coming June and it continues to be the most amazing instrument I know of. Blessed and thankful to play it every day.
I think it's a "2nd highest string" thing. Not only are my mandolin A strings always the culprit, on my guitars it's always the B string
My upgrade came when I found myself fighting for tone every time I played. I needed something that would full reveal me as the obstacle to good sound and let me know that any deficiencies I heard...
My regular gigging band is an Outlaw Country bit. We do all the embroidered shirts and jackets. Pearl snaps on most shirts, belt buckles, western boots. I must naturally hold my mando off to the...

I hear you. I started to develop a similar use of this technique in my current outlaw country band. The rest of the band are guitarists who don't really play with mandolin inclusivity in mind. I had...
I've never seen a thread like this
Gotta be that $50,000 Randy Wood two-point

Looks just like my baby, except with all that inlay work I love. My Kelley is almost identical in the...
I got a black Wegen 150 for Christmas last year that has been my exclusive pick on my Kelley the whole year. I switch off on other instruments but that Wegen has been enough magic for fifteen shows...
It almost sounds like some of those expressing confusion actually do understand. You try picks. You see what you like and how they perform on different strings and different grips. In the process,...
The "Race up Loud Mountain" is a tough nut to crack. It comes with related attitude that also refuses to jibe with a mandolin. As mentioned in many-a-thread, the mandolin is not just a tiny...
Unlike a lot of things, mandolins don't have an automatic reduction in quality over time so a builder known for making a solid instrument will have used instruments regularly go for similar prices as...
Big fan of these

I have one of these for my main case. Seems strangely appropriate.
There are several videos for tracks on the new album that appear to be this. They have enough differences that I believe they are recorded by the one mic you see.
Great, great stuff. I wish there...
As an aside, I was watching a Punch Brothers video yesterday and noticed Chris holing his pick such that it stuck out about a full 1/2 inch. Personally, I never have mine sticking out more than 1/4...
If you're not sure what to go with, I suggest travel. If at all possible, find your way to a store with a wide selection and see what you think after playing them all.
I'm just trying to keep track of the chord progression and where we are in it. If I know what chords I'm supposed to be soloing over, I can usually pull something out.
Since I never tossed out all my suggestions, my favorites have been
Shout And Shine - Southland Trio
Jesus Saviour, Pilot Me - Stanley Brothers (just move the fiddle kickoff and guitar solo to...
Did this one a few years back with my daughter and it went over great. This song will get up in your head. We followed up with How Great Thou Art, which also has a lot of easy walk throughs on the...

I'm not sure how to feel about this. Can someone tell me how I feel?
