This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Thank you and I trust and will try what you say, though I wasn't the = person with the duplex complaint. I am mystified, a little, though. It seems like the strings, up against = the capo, are as high as they could get.=20 Would this not also tend to make the string rise off the bridge a = little?

Using the string hook of your choice, put the = hook under the string right in front of the damper and pull towards the = capo bar, lifting slightly as you do so. Do all three strings and check = that they are level. The strings will typically drop in pitch and = improve in tone when retuned. It will eliminate some if not all the = duplex noise.=20 Patrick Poulson, RPT ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
