As a long-time classical violist and total mandolin newbie, I did a double take on what at first glance appeared to be a chinrest! 🤣I presume you also carry a chin-rest wrench for it? One thing I keep in my viola case that I want to include in my mandolin case is an old-fashioned miniature tuning fork. The other thing I carry are alcohol wipes to clean my hands before playing to protect the strings from any corrosion.

I keep a small container of SortKwik fingertip moistener in my case. It helps hang on to my pick without clamping down. Another brand is Tacky Finger.

I bought a tone guard 2 years ago after watching one of your videos and I have to say that's the one thing I can't live without. Everyone compliments how my mandolin cuts through a jam and I attribute it to the tone guard. Thanks for the recommendation!

Take care when wiping strings with a cloth and then using the same cloth for the wood. Cloth can pick up tiny metal flecks off the strings and this will scratch the mandolin finish. I've done it.

Thanks for the tip! Like I mentioned in the video, I don't really use the cloth for polishing unless its clean

Yeah! I mentioned those here. It may be a placebo, but the EXPs feel a little different to me. You notice any difference?

Hey David, you didn't mention the violin humidifier although I saw it on the table... :-)

Yeah! Good catch! Was going to mention that too, but I don’t usually worry about humidifying too much down here in SC. And since we’re mostly touring in the SE States and over in the UK the humidity levels are always really high, but a humidifier would be a great addition to any mandolin case for sure! Thanks for watching!
