This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello dear list. I would like to improve my string lifting skills. After a new stringing job and a decent first pass on action regulation, = when the strings have been tuned about 6 times and have stretched out a = little, I take my hook and lift all the strings once to ensure a good = termination at agraffees (or capo). Then, I take a little piece of straight aluminium, 1 mm thick and wide = as three unissons, that I put on the strings at the place of striking = line. Plucking the strings tells me what string is higher than the = others, as the piece of aluminium sits on them and mutes them. Ok, nothing new up 'till now. My problem is that I have a hard time to do an accurate job here. The = strings respond very well to the first hook pull, but after that, to = refine the string height, I find that some strings still respond to hook = pull, some others no way and stay at the same height. I try then to = lower the strings that are too high by knocking on them close to the = agraffee with a caoutchouc hammer on a brass rod, but again, some will = get down, some others no way. I end up with a quite good but not = perfect job, which saddens me much. Any ideas about how to improve this technique ? And yes, sarcasms welcome foreseen that they accompany a good idea = (smile). Best regards. St=E9phane Collin. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
