Re: Nylon vs Metal string and Type of Picks
I'm just beginning playing classical music on the mandolin but have experimented with the sound and I think that Aquila Red Series Mandolin Strings 1M(on my mandoletto) ,played with a teflon pick takes away the shrillness of the mandolin and gives you a softer sound, suitable for classical music, as I perceive it.
The sound of the strings is really good but you have to accept that the D pair must be tuned almost every day the first 1o days.
