Tuning the Duplex (was ...Capo)

Hi Alan,
               It's massaging the strings upwards, to get a nice 
termination fit. a little less energy goes into the duplex section, and a 
little more is reflected back to the speaking length. Be careful not to 
kink the string, or you can make matters worse, by inducing false beats.
Use a string hook from above, ore massage from below with a hammer shank.
You will also notice an improvement in tone and sustain.
Rubbing out the rear duplex with a hammer shank, so they all speak at the 
same pitch, can also improve things a little.

Regards Roger
