Re: [HG] Cottoning video clips?

[Anthony Shostak]

Thanks, all, for the replies to my query.  The video at hurdygurdy.org 
was helpful, and I've managed to get my new string sounding.  But I'm 
wondering -- is it desirable to slacken the string before applying the 
cotton?  The video sounds as though the string has been slackened quite 
a bit for the cottoning.

While I'm at it, I just surfed across a DVD on set-up and playing 
http://www.elderly.com/videos/items/222-DVD1.htm .  Anyone on the list 
have any comments on it?  I saw none on the archives.

Best,

Anthony
