Scott - I would rather stay with the harp lever approach, since I want to be able to engage and disengage the D note quickly on the trompette, ideally without having to retune the string. As for altering the appearance of the instrument, it's a Gotschy Phoenix and not that much of a looker to begin with (although it plays great!) so I don't mind adding an accessory or two on the body. I'd think twice if I had your antique luteback! Mitch [email protected] writes:
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.
