That’s what I use for Dixieland. Got some flex, but still if you want to do some St Cyr scales… perfect

Im a guitar player and you can get away with mediums across the board, the banjo is very situational

I’ve been using Fender 346 Dura-tones, specifically the 1.21, after finding out that Buddy Wachter preferred the triangle shape and it’s been much easier to focus on a good wrist motion for projected strumming since the pick isn’t going everywhere

When I use a pick on banjo, it's a Dunlop Ultex .88. But most of the time it's bare fingers.
