    Re: Why Do Festivals Hire The Wrong Sound Guys?

    Re: What if?

    I'd sell it. It should be in a museum or the hands of a much-more-talented musician than I. Then I'd use the money to buy a whole truckload of less-collectible musical equipment.

    Re: Are they really worth it?

    Try it yourself. If your local music store doesn't carry a variety of fancy picks, there are a couple pick samplers making the rounds, with everything from freebie plastic picks to NASA material...

    Re: Chris Thile does Bill Monroe

    I don't know what some of you folks are talking about, that was the most Monroe-like, traditional-bluegrass-mandolin thing I've ever heard Chris Thile play.

    Re: D'Addario - Seeking Mandolin Beta Testers

    So I've had them on my flatiron for a couple weeks now, for a couple jams and rehearsals and a festival. They sound great. Different fundamentals and harmonics than J74s, more "scooped" sounding,...

    Re: Pick technique question

    What sort of pick are you using? If you're using a thin, flexible pick, that might be contributing to why you are having to attack the string so deeply that you are hitting a scooped extension. A...

    I'm so excited! I happen to have taken the entire next week off work so will be plenty of time for picking picking picks.

    Re: 10 CDs

    Most of the ones I'd recommend have been said, but I'd definitely add Homer & Jethro - Playing it Straight/It Ain't Necessarily Square, probably my favorite album to listen to lately

    Re: With or without Virzi

    Really cool comparison. The non-virzi has more what I'd call "howl", low midrange which makes for a more pronounced "plunk" in chops and notes. More noticeable when he was playing the G monroe...

    I replied today, 3 days after you sent the PM.

    But since you already sent them, I guess put me back on the list somewhere.

    "bark" - a chop cord sounds loud and abrupt, like the sound a dog makes. It's a midrange "pop" that projects. Basically, saying that the mandolin is loud and has some harmonic in its tonal...
