<html> <body> Darrell Fandrich, I believe, had supplied an interesting hook, mounted on a brass tube, whose base acted as a fulcrum, sitting on the agraffe or some other stable portion, to lift the string.  It did not lower strings, as some devices seem to do.  I don't know if they are still available.  360.652.8980 David Skolnik At 09:26 AM 8/8/2005 -0500, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">List, I recall a class on Sunday at the National Convention on voicing through string leveling.  The instructor, I wish I could recall his name, had made a really nifty string lifting tool of brass rod and piano wire.  I'm in the process of making that.  I generally recall the dimensions, but would appreciate confirmation.
