Mitch, Have you thought of just using a clip on capo or a sliding capo like Michael Hubbard used to make (I think it was him). RT has one on the Hubbard luteback and it seems to work great. You will have to mark the string so you know where to put it the second time but it is an easy fix. No body additions needed.

The former would displace the string along the wheel surface, the latter would press it down tighter against the wheel. Or does this matter? Mitch [email protected] writes: On my instrument, the trompette string is about 1-1/2" from the side of the keybox. So that would be a pretty thick spacing block, wouldn't it? I suppose another option would be to mount a smaller block on the soundboard with vertical screws, then mount the sharping lever assembly on the side of that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
