We've said it before, we'll say it again.
Popped into a local shop today that specialises in acoustic instruments. Looking at those new banjo picks that go down your fingers. Did not like them - no, not quite. Loved the thumb pick. But the others - couldn't get a good sound out of them.
This is not a criticism of the build quality or idea. Nor is it to suggest that they were at all bad. I just couldn't get a sound I thought adequate. No doubt everyone else could.
I then picked up a couple of Eastman mandolins and a Godin. again... lovely instruments. But I preferred the instruments I have at home.
I'm not here to troll, but rather to ruminate how some people just don't get on with some things. Sam Bush springs to mind - he was offered a Lloyd Loar, but preferred 'Hoss'. No-one, not least Sam, thinks the Lloyd Loar is a bad mando...
