I can't tell exactly what the strings touch when they go through those holes in the capo bar: http://calin.haos.ro/c/instruments/steingraeber/IMG_0049.JPG It seems like they go up from there, away from the soundboard in the usual way, then down over a plate nut on their way to the tuning pin. What exactly forms the front termination? Do the strings ride against the top side of those holes? And what about the left and right strings: don't they buzz against the sides of the holes? Thanks for the pictures... --Cy-- SHUSTERpiano.com
