Thick I found it another thread. Looks like a Dunlop Jazztone 207 pick. I shoulda done a search here first.
Found this well worn pick in an old mandolin case. It's about 1/8" or 3 mm thick now. Plays nice.
Can anyone identify it?

Thanks pops1. You are probably right about not being able to clamp the sides back together due to its location near the upper block. I have tried applying pressure with my hands on both sides of the...
I have an opportunity to acquire an older MK Legacy Classic from a friend. The problem is it has about a 3" seam separation probably due to lack of humification on the back where the two book matched...
I can't speak for international sales, but I have bought at least one ukulele in the winter that was shipped from the Northern US to Georgia. I was lucky the body did not crack because it sat in the...
I know this is a zombie thread, but its interesting. Having put several under saddle and soundboard pickups on ukuleles, I suspect that the USTs may work better than a soundboard pickup in a really...
Ha ha. I have only been going to BG jams for about a year (once a month). When I first started, I made the mistake of sitting across from a left handed guitar player. Threw me for a loop.
You might also consider a Ukulele, which is a good instrument to accompany yourself singing. I played Ukulele and sang with a few other ukulele players for about 6 years, before the desire for a...
Very true, at least in the ukulele world where I spent a lot of time. I have a friend who owns a very popular ukulele store. He always hates it when I say I’ll buy a new one when i learn to play the...
Brick - Im really new to mandolin, so I may ask dumb questions, but if you are happy with the action at the nut and 12th frets, the neck is straight, and no string buzzes on any fret, Im having a...
Doesn't work for everyone, I guess. I watched that vid a while ago. While I can play the dreaded G 4 finger chop chord, I can't ye do it quickly. For me, its easier to plant my first two fingers...
Not long after I joined the band I am now in, they wanted me to play bass. I had never played bass before. I soon discovered what you did - most others were already playing the full seventh and minor...
Wow Mrmando - 11 years ago.. thats what i call a real zombie rhread lol.
Makes me want to start playing behind the coffee house once a week again. I think most towns now have made taking money...
Ha ha. It only took me 2 weeks to order my second mandolin. As I recall, it was about 6 months before I ordered my second ukulele lol. Oh yeah I haver ordered a cheap dual (K&K type) pickup to...
I'd say I've had success. I got Rob's book, but I also watched several YT videos. My Rogue is now much easier to play (lowered the action at the nut and bridge and intonated the bridge). It really...
What a wonderful idea and experience.
I think that is correct, but I don't think those folks read the forum. I am also guessing that 95% of the people that try any instrument give up when they find out that it is work to learn it. I...
About the closest I have ever come to busking was several years ago. For about 2-3 years, a friend and I used to jam on our ukuleles once a week behind a coffee shop in the old town square....
I know this is a dinosaur thread, but still useful for beginners considering a Rogue. I can only say that for me, it was not a mistake buying a Rogue for $42.99 delivered to my door a month or so...
Excellent question, wormpicker. I have wondered the same thing for some time on the ukulele and guitar. I was classically trained on trumpet back in the 1960s in middle school. When reading standard...
Pretty close, I'd say. I'm not really a fine mandolin guy yet, so take what I say with a grain of salt. However, I have bought and sold a lot of ukuleles and guitars. For non-collectible pieces, I...
I am sure its mostly a matter of getting used to it, but my under $50 beginner mandolin has a flat fretboard and I can muddle along on it. I recently tried out an Eastman with a well set up radiused...
I love it. Good work.
Thats what i thought it was at first lol. Too bad it didnt have a mabdolin in it.
As the fates would have it, it turns out I have owned a mandolin gig bag for several years. I bought it one day at the thrift store for $4, not really knowing exactly what instrument it was for. I...
