Re: Splurging on the Best Possible Mandolin Strings
I've often promoted the opinion that the best string and pick combo vary by individual mandolin and player and is subject to change. They are also the cheapest way to change your mandolin's voice (pick and string combos). Trying $5-10 worth of different picks from the store and a few varieties of strings is a fun thing to do.
Personally, I like regular ole j74s and the J74FW. I've used TI strings (warmer and darker than J74s) and I also have used Silk and Bronze strings. I like those fat old Dawg picks, too.
