Curiosity wonders how you arrived at playing the mandolin in the first place, if not out of a deep desire?
I like the brilliant sound of new strings - but then, I play ITM; other than BG players who like the dull throb of rust from before the Roosevelt administration
I play with pointy Ultem/Ultex picks that hadn't "mandolin" written on them anywhere. Finding your pick is a lifelong experience in itself.
I like the ring and drone of open strings whnever I can get them. The sound is just better.
