Re: Neck profiles on mandolins?
I've never given mandolin lessons but...... Are you sure you're not actually gripping the neck? Perhaps I learned wrong but my hand only touches on, or within a half inch or so, of the fingerboard. If I get my hand any closer to the back (middle) of the neck, it slows me down.
