    Re: Pro Plec 1.5

    I do and the ProPlec recently found it's way back onboard, after a Wegen being primary for over a year. I had some new strings with some brightness that needed to be tamed.

    Re: Thomas (Skip) Kelly?

    Can't be out of line. I received my two-point two years ago this coming June and it continues to be the most amazing instrument I know of. Blessed and thankful to play it every day.

    Re: Why is the A string always jacked up?

    Re: When to upgrade from beginner mandolin?

    My upgrade came when I found myself fighting for tone every time I played. I needed something that would full reveal me as the obstacle to good sound and let me know that any deficiencies I heard...

    My regular gigging band is an Outlaw Country bit. We do all the embroidered shirts and jackets. Pearl snaps on most shirts, belt buckles, western boots. I must naturally hold my mando off to the...

    Re: Sierra on Fretboard Journal

    I hear you. I started to develop a similar use of this technique in my current outlaw country band. The rest of the band are guitarists who don't really play with mandolin inclusivity in mind. I had...

    I got a black Wegen 150 for Christmas last year that has been my exclusive pick on my Kelley the whole year. I switch off on other instruments but that Wegen has been enough magic for fifteen shows...

    Re: Pick Talk

    It almost sounds like some of those expressing confusion actually do understand. You try picks. You see what you like and how they perform on different strings and different grips. In the process,...

    Re: Live Mic for Mandolin Recommendations

    The "Race up Loud Mountain" is a tough nut to crack. It comes with related attitude that also refuses to jibe with a mandolin. As mentioned in many-a-thread, the mandolin is not just a tiny...

    Re: The Punch Brothers on YouTube

    There are several videos for tracks on the new album that appear to be this. They have enough differences that I believe they are recorded by the one mic you see.

  19. Re: D'Addario's new Chris Thile signature mandolin pick

    As an aside, I was watching a Punch Brothers video yesterday and noticed Chris holing his pick such that it stuck out about a full 1/2 inch. Personally, I never have mine sticking out more than 1/4...

    If you're not sure what to go with, I suggest travel. If at all possible, find your way to a store with a wide selection and see what you think after playing them all.
