Re: Pick weight (thickness, size, whatever the term is)
The travelling pick sampler is a great way to find out how different picks of varying weights, sizes and composition affect your mandolin's tone and volume. The feel, also, plays into the equation. I'm almost done with Sampler 2 and it has been fascinating - so much so that I've been keeping notes on what picks sound best for each genre. Even a few of the thinner picks work well in some pieces, though I do favor 1.2 to 1.7 mm. My next purchase will probably be an OM where I'll need to try the picks all over again.
