    Re: Playing in Position

    I’m mostly tryin’ to learn to refret the tunes I already knew, and, at my age, change doesn’t come easy, but I like the positions. I wanted to move up the neck. I’ll get it, but it’ll be a while.

    Thanks, Mark, that’ll do me for now, and that’s what I’ve been doin’. I just didn’t know if it was the correct way.

    And thanks all for your answers.

    Re: New Mandola

    I’ve bought some lighter, D’Addario strings and some 2 mm picks. I bought the picks because I already have a Dunlop Delrin 500 2 mm and like it pretty well. I don’t usually use that heavy a pick,...

    Re: New Mandola

    Well, so far the tight, tight strings have loosened up, and the frettin’ has become easier. I’ve picked my pick; it’s a Dunlop Prime Tone Sculpted 1.3 small triangle. Picks well, and it’s tremolo is...

    Yeah, I got one a while back, but I haven’t used it much. So many picks - so little time.

    Got my new Mandola on Sunday - three days early! I played it a lot yesterday. The strings are very tight, and I thought they would be tough to play, but they played just fine. A Prime Tone round...

    New Mandola

    Well, yesterday I pulled the trigger on a new Gold Tone Mandola. I wanted a new mandolin that was different from what I already have, and one that I know how to play.

    I like mandolins a lot, but...

    Yeah, Dave, I agree. I have a lot of them too, but I still buy a few from time to time. They certainly interest me — so many sizes and shapes and colors. I’ve been thinkin’ about the Black Mountain...

    Yeah, Lady, I couldn’t agree more. Yesterday I used a light pick that sounded pretty good, yet today I didn’t like it and chose another.. It’s maddening! I guess the pros hafta carry a mixed bunch...

    Re: Pick Talk

    I think picks are sometimes maddening. One finally gets a pick that sounds just as he/she thinks it should, but the next time it’s played it sounds different, and the search starts again. Sometimes...

    Sound Comparison

    Do type F mandolins generally sound the same as type A? I know, of course, there are many different sounding mandolins. but can one usually tell the difference between the two.

    Re: Pick Talk

    Yeah, I like ‘em a lot. My favorite (so far) is Prime Tone Round .3 or .5. I’ve been usin’ them for a long time. They’re great for tremolo, but, as I said before, they’re a bit noisy.
