Always dragging the tangled mess out, untwisting it, then winding it back up, and so on. Then every couple of years the wire shorts out internally and you have to break out out the soldering iron and replace it. Have you had enough of the wire? >> Robert, and others What you have described, Robert, I am sure, will work. But if all you are concerned about is the foot pedal, and the wire that leads to it, for about the same amount of money, and much less time and effort, I would suggest you invest in a thumb switch. You can either buy one from Sanderson, or make your own. Your friendly neighborhood Radio Shack store can supply you with a switch and a telephone style cord. Attach the switch to your tuning handle with some Velcro, and you're in business. Of course, if you don't want any kind of wires, and you are electronically challenged, you can buy an SAT III, or a Cybertuning program for your lap top, with the automatic note switch built right in.
