One note: rubbing and pushing down on the wire will lower the pitch. Some of this change is caused by heat, allowing the wire to stretch, and lower in pitch. It is quite dramatic how the pitch will change from rubbing. Don't be fooled...the pitch will creep back up, within abount a minute.

Will it save me time and give me a more stabile result? I've tried it and noticed the string reacts alot to it. What part of the string do I start with and how much massage is needed?
