Re: [HG-new] 'splain me somethin'

Regular hard soap works well (keep it well away from the wheel) and it is invisible I guess a very soft pencil will also work I don't find I need it on the nuts I do use it on the ears and on the string holes in the peg box sides and the string notches on the mouche and bourdon bridges Its best applied to a slack string and the notches Graham Augusto de Ornellas Abreu wrote: btw, about strings slipping and all   is it a good idea to use some teflon powder or a soft pencil on the nut, so that the string won't stick and jump while I tune it? I know violinists sometimes use powdered graphite (I don't know if you use that word in English - that's the stuff inside pencils) so that the string can slide freely on the nut...   Augusto Brazil On Tue, Dec 1, 2009 at 2:10 PM, Barbara Currier <barbaracurr...@gmail.com> wrote: Thanks, everybody, for all the advice.
