Hammer Strike Line-Grand

[Gordon Holley]

Hi Dean.
Yes, when plucking with a fingernail, such as chip tuning, the strings from
E7 up to C8 ring as loudly and clearly as the strings below E7.
Your question "Is there a scale break at Eb7/E7?.  I understand you are
asking if the wire diameter changes at Eb7/E7.
I don't know, because I don't have the type of mic that I can get between
the wires and take a reading.  It very well may, just don't know.
Regarding glue and crack related problems in the bridge and soundboard.  I
have looked very carefully and do not see any indication
oc a bad joint or seam.
I don thank you for your interest and input on my plight.
Regards, Gordon Holley
