In reference to Gordon Large's question concerning M&H screwstringers: I can't claim vast experience on screwstringers, having worked on exactly ONE. Restringing with nice clean wire and cleaning up the bearing points did improve the rendering considerably, but I did break two of the doohickeys in the process and had to make new ones. Actually I shouldn't say I broke them -- they broke themselves. I guess they decided I was ready for a sudden and inconvenient lesson in metalworking One does get the hang of it, but you'll also notice that not even Mason & Hamlin stayed with them very long.... Good luck, Bob Davis
