Bridgetop Extravaganza Revisited

[Stéphane Collin]

Jon,

Just a question.  Do you have to redo this operation (removing the natural curve at the bridge pins) each time you tune the instrument ?  I would think that the bending of the wire at the pin will move with every tuning lever movement.

| 
| The curve in the wire as it bends around the bridge pin. The sound improves 
| with a better termination.
| Much the same as lifting the wire on either side of the bearing bar.
| 
| As detailed in the Renner USA pamphlet on voicing by Rick Baldassin. This

| termination at the capo bar.
| 
| I'll send the jpg privately.
