Augusto, If it is a real crisis, I have used this method before. Take a bamboo skewer, the sort used for food, and shave a very small sliver off one side. Insert this into the hole with the tangent. What I would now do, following the purchase of Neil Brook’s maintenance DVD, is to make a new tangent, but I guess unless you have the appropriate piece of wood and a chisel, this isn’t going to help you. Regards, Geoff

I tried some string (like what you do with bagpipes) but that didn't work well. how can I shim or fix that? Please send me all ideas you have. It's a little urgent, because I have a gig on Friday. Thank you Augusto Brazil __._,_.___ Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a new topic Messages in this topic (1) Recent Activity: New Members 1 Visit Your Group Switch to: Text-Only, Daily Digest • Unsubscribe • Terms of Use . __,_._,___ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
