Yikes- yeah, that might be a good idea!

Personally, I use 190 proof Everclear when making liquid rosin.
Fellow Oregonians can search this magic elixir here: http://www.oregonliquorsearch.com/home.jsp

liquor anywhere but a state store.
Keep meaning to mark my flask before someone comes along and takes a
swig. ;^)

Sometimes you can get by with rubbing the tangent stem with rosin to
create more friction. (if it's too far gone this may not work).
Use as dark of rosin as you can get. Liquid rosin would make this
an easy fix. If you have liquid rosin, you could also try
squirting a drop or two in the receiving hole in the keyshaft.
You can make your own liquid rosin by dissolving rosin in either
acetone or ethyl alcohol (denatured alcohol would work too, but it's
poisonous).
Good luck

Subject: [HG-new] urgent advice
I have an urgent question
Because of the shifts in humidity - we just came out of a long dry
season (4 months with no rain - now it's nice and rainy) - two
tangents on my HG (E and F on low string, first octave - on a G/C
gurdy) got loosened on the key and won't hold the tuning when in
contact with the vibrating string, and I don't know exactly how to
fix that. 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
