HI Rique: I find a good habit to cultivate is to turn the wheel a little more rapidly when playing those upper notes (especially #10 diatonic & higher). Even on slow plassages, a faster wheel rotation can even out things and give more consistency to intonation. There's also cotton, rosin, & shims, but I'm guessing you likely already know about since you seem savvy on how to fix sticky keys.

As some of you may already know, I'm a begginer who's basically alone with my gurdy in Brazil (I do have Augusto around, but he lives kind of far from my city - plus, we play in different tunings). Anyway, I've been able to overcome some bothersome problems such as sticky keys and some maintenance issues, but there's this one tiny detail I can't seem to vanquish so soon: the two chantarelles playing high notes together. I mean, the first keys are ok, I don't have that much trouble on the first octave an a couple of notes after it, but the really high-pitched notes are really hard to play when both strings are on. How were you able to achieve a pleasent sound when playing those keys? Any tips?
