Re: pointy vs round picks.
I frankly don't see how anyone can get any tone out of a rounded pick, but I wouldn't say Thile's and Grisman's tone was lacking. Mind you, I am not as enamored of their tones as some seem to be, and I honestly believe that the emperor needs to be told he has no clothes sometimes, but their mandolins sound good most of the time.
