Hi Terry,
Wrap twice around hitch pin, and 4 times around active
length just in front of hitch pin.
Termination length drops to about 7-8mm instead of 40-50mm. This makes a
huge difference to the stiffness applied to the bridge. Leaves it free to
move.
If you only have about 20mm of active back scale length, then the
termination has a serious negative effect on the bridge.
It would be interesting to have Del move a bridge and use German loops, I
think the results would be dramatic.
Regards Roger
