Hi Mike, I use Arledge quite a bit. He askes for 2 measurements for single , bi, and trichords as well as any on the treble bridge. Hitch pin to bridge pin (on speaking side) and hitch pin to agraffe. Never got a bad set from him.

Latest issue: string length as wound vs. string length at pitch. When you order strings to a set of measurements, do you shorten the specified length by an amount of stretch/loop crush that you estimate, or do you rely on the stringmaker to estimate the length change and make the strings shorter than you specify? How do you communicate this with your stringmaker? Stories of successful relationships with specific stringmakers much appreciated! thanks Mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
