Hammer Strike Line-Grand

[Gordon Holley]

Back to you David.  As I responded to Dean May, when plucking the wires, as
in chip tuning, I started at C7 and worked my way chromatically up to C8,
and there was no change in the ring clearity or loudness through the
transition at Eb7 to E7 and up.  Of course the sustain dropped of a little
around G#/A and on up to C8.
I do believe that the next step would be to take your and Joe Garrett's
advice and try a method of hardening E7 and see if that
makes any improvement.
Now, I've got to find out what the procedure of hardening with lacquer is,
and which lacquer.
Many thanks David, regards, Gordon Holley
