Easily reversible, too. My experience with these is that they are more useful on larger instruments than smaller. Also, as Guy notes, some experimentation is in order. I've found it most useful to have someone other than myself doing the tightening/loosening while I move around listening. Sometimes there is a very noticeable change. Sometimes, whatever change occurs is more subtle. Also, I tend to think that they have more use on older (pre-1980 or so) instruments. Next time you see Chris Robinson, thank him for this gadget.
