But yet no one has has tried individual vertical hitch pins? I think they use bass strings on individual hitch pins. It shouldn't be that much more of a problem to use tenor and treble strings on individual h pins. Still after all it is a question of the proof of the pudding. I would guess they might use something other than the "double German coil". Someting more like the bass s trings loops. ---rm
