[CAUT] capo work

[Paul T Williams]

Thanks Jim!

It looks pretty good for getting an even surface.  We have so many 
students breaking strings in the capo areas, many pianos are getting to 
the restringing point. 
I'm guessing these files will last for a long time.

Best,

Paul

The 300 grit is all I have.

Google “Stewart MacDonald”. Look for diamond fret files. I asked about the 
radius specs over the phone and can’t remember which one was best but I do 
know the small WON’T work. I’ll see if I can give you better info later.

Hi David, 
  
Stewart MacDonald guitar fret files are the best. DON’T get the cheaper 
ones. Get the diamond files. They work quickly with 150 and 300 grits, and 
then follow with 400 and 600 sandpaper and buff. 15 minutes tops. Perfect 
every time.

What are techs using to file capo bars before restringing?   I've read 
that guitar fret files were being used...I'm interested in the type of 
file and any technique used.  I'm thinking a 2 mm radius...?   I am 
reading the archives on this and some good articles in the Journal...
