Also there is a teqhnique that will be useful on occasion. When you have strings in contact with each other it 'is' a pain......as you mentioned. Try setting all three strings very slightly low in pitch and pull each string, starting with the middle string, up to where it should be.....next either right or left string depending on which is in most contact with the middle......then pull the last string up. Make sure to set all three strings on the up-pull. This technique has worked for me in the past and is one I still use...though judicious use of protek has worked wonders. :-) Jim Bryant (FL)
