Re: Light strings and thin picks
I think it depends on the instrument and the type of music you play. I use medium strings -- except on my bowlback, which uses ultra light, and my bandolims, which use light. And since I don't play either bluegrass or chords, I need a pick with a point -- not floppy, but stiff -- and thin. My current favorite is a jazz pick for my gigging instruments, a john pearse for the snake and a BC jazz for my Eastman, which has a bridge mike, because I did a pick challenge and those were the picks that sounded best with those instruments with the music that I play. So, yeah, YMMV.
