[CAUT] RE : huge pitch raise question

[Don]

Hi Michelle,

Try some protec on the Vbar. I don't find it necessary--but apparently your
hammer technique may benefit from using it. (at least on those 25 year old
baldways, sumores, and wurliebirdies). Apply with an artists brush. Do go
down in pitch first (just enough to hear the pitch change)--then *all* the
way up to the overpull setting on your accutuner.

I sure wish someone would call me a child again! (old gray and grizzled is
what I get now).

Thanks for starting an interesting thread!
