String Lifting Tool

[Andrew and Rebeca Anderson]

I went ahead and made it, like as you described.  I made it a little 
long to readily reach over the capo bars etc., always easier to shorten. ;-)
It is nifty in that you place the base on strings on the plate etc. 
and pull the top to lift a little.  And, using piano wire as the hook 
you don't inadvertently mess with your string spacing trying to 
access the middle unison.  I'll have to see if that 'hook' needs a 
little tempering to stay that way.
