Last night I got the AMAZING pleasure of seeing Chris Thile, Edgar Meyer and Yo-Yo Ma perform their Bach Trios material here at University of Michigan. (I even tried sneaking back to meet him in person and hopefully have some talent rub off on me but no such luck)
For anyone who's seen their concerts in the recent weeks I was really curious about his choice in instruments. Obviously he had his Loar and a guitar, but for one of the pieces he picked up an A-style instrument. Normally I wouldn't think much about it but it almost looked and sounded like he was fingerpicking it. (I was in the nosebleed seats so I couldn't tell for sure)
Does anyone know about this? What instrument/maker he's playing and if he does fingerpick it?
(Also - I don't know if this debate is still going on but he was definitely using a Wegen pick all night)
