Current through the wires heats them up and changes the pitch. The tuning pins will heat slightly, but not enough to harm the block. Practically, they won't heat at all since the pins are so large." Paul, Say What???!!! A basic knowledge of wood, would dispute that. I'd rethink that, for sure. This guy's been around too long and has never proven his theory to anyone's satisfaction. (let alone a WORKING prototype) Typical Engineer Type.....living in a dream world, that us mortals really can't imagine.<G> That's my take on that, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
