Fingers. I know...radical! Rob
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 June 2005 15:31 To: [email protected] Subject: This past weekend I spent half a day with Carlo Cecchoni - he made some adjustments to the cittern he made for me - and we talked quite a bit about picks. Carlo plays baroque mandolin (Roman version) and has been experimenting with various materials. He's made some nice picks from bark that work very well. I'm in Umbria this month so may be able to get some ostrich feathers. Has anyone had any experience making quill picks? I've heard that ostrich feathers work well, as do crow. I've never tried splitting a quill, though, so if anyone has any tips or advice... What picks are people using?
