I'm going to see what I can do when I get home.. It does have adjustable tangents so I will look at that as well.. Thanks, Seth

Your problem with the low A may be the tangent pressure. I can't remember offhand if the Orca has adjustable tangents but you may be able to slide the tangent in or out, this may make a difference if its just the one note. one way to tell if you may need to shim is if the high notes (d',e',f#,g'') sound scratchy or not as clear as the notes in the first octave. Dont be afraid of shimming, i dont think there is a 'gurdy out there that doesnt have at least a couple of scraps of paper on the bridge. There are $10,000 instruments that only work because of 2 cents worth of rolling paper. Of course you have to realize i have only had a hurdygurdy for 3 years so i may be full of crap, but thats whats worked for me. Roy may have other solutions or you could contact Alden and Cali direct. derek ----- Original Message ----- From: Seth Hamon Date: Wednesday, May 9, 2007 8:58 am Subject: Re: [HG] Bizarre Orca problem/
