    Re: The best mandolin straps?

    Randy Hogan if you can find one, I don’t know that he is still making them but check with mandomutt. Second choice is Lakota round braid. I tried many straps before I realized the most comfortable...

    Re: Looking for a first mandolin

    I agree with Tony, check cafe classifieds and/or reputable dealers advertised here. But anything $300 or under will definitely leave you with the temptation to upgrade that you are trying to avoid.

    F9 gets my vote ;) But easy for me considering I've never played a Kentucky and my F9 is far better than any other mandolin that I have tried. Yet.

    Re: Neotech Strap

    I used one for a while but seemed like too much strap for a mandolin. I prefer a thin round braided one that will stay on in the case and more comfortable in my opinion. However, they are greatly...

    Re: Picks?

    I have used my medium guitar pick on my mandolin but prefer the sound of a much heavier triangle mandolin pick. If you like the sound of the guitar pick, there is no law against it.
