technically and in today's context, yes. although in the past, players didnt have to. But changes in playing technique and style over the years have made the nails essential today.

prolly some gadget for the instrument but what exactly?

@samuelwongpipa Is it needed in order to play the instrument?

In absolute awe

[charadeone]

This is certainly badass & I really am shocked by the power of the instrument(not to mention the musician's enthusiasm). It felt as if the music was visualized.

This simply is complete mastery of one's energy via playing a musical instrument.

This is what its all about folks! It won't catch on.

@Eistroll0Wie0 claws from an extinct mountain gorilla

@Eistroll0Wie0 They call them picks. They allow the player to pluck the string. Banjo, guitar and other stringed instrument players use them. Think of them as plastic fingernail, only thicker and stronger.
