Hello everyone,
I am playing the mandolin for a week now (an Eastman 304) and would like your help choosing different picks.
I would like to try several picks knowing I m playing Irish music and classical music (I started with a bourrée from Bach).
My only pick for the mandolin is a Dunlop Gator Grip 1,14. After one week, it's already used and the bottom touching the strings is already black. But I really like it compare to the other light picks I have for the guitar.
For the Guitar, I am used to light picks but I found out it was easier for me to hold a heavy pick ( I don't know how to hold a guitar pick properly...).
Since buying picks for mandolin can be expensive, I would like to try different ones without spending 20 euros per pick and would like your advices.
I live in France and will probably buy from Thomann.
Here are the picks I was thinking of :
- V-Picks Tradition light BL (1,5mm)
- V-Picks Large Light Rounded (1,5 mm)
- V-Picks Medium Pointed Light (1,5 mm)
- Dunlop Primetone Triangle (1,5 mm)
- Dunlop Big Stubby 2
What do you think about them ?
Would you recommend me other picks to try ?
Thank you in advance for your help !
