RE: Decision of the Day (in reply to Florian)

For me, this perpetual saga of the fingernails has been the most frustrating thing in music, and has driven me to the brink of existential crisis on more than one occasion. It has impelled me to consider quit playing nylon-string altogether and, once, after 20 years I did file off my nails "for good!" Nothing has caused me more angst, ennui, and dread than my freakin fingernails. I came to the conclusion that playing nylon-string guitar (with its requisite meticulous fingernails) is simply NOT a good thing for those apt to OCD-type behavior (and a tenuous existential countenance). Nothing signifies the great paradox more than the fastidious musician who employs a sloughing part of the anatomy for nothing less than the fundamental attack of his instrument, yet this fickle cellulous seems to tear, nick, or chip as readily as the morning dew, no matter how meticulous we care. I like to be zen about about things...but clearly this is an evil trick. Sounds like you've made a proper repair Florian. Good luck.
