Stéphane: One other thing to consider.... if a string needs to be lifted raise the pitch first then lift, then tune back down. If you lift first then bring it back up to pitch, much of that nice bend you just put in the wire at the agraffe will be pulled back through the agraffe and be lost. If you pull it sharp first then bring the string down to pitch (or if you are lucky and your lifting brings it down to where it should be) the bend will still be where you want it. dave __________________________________________ David M.
