Setting Up A Pull Release - C6

Post by Eldon »

I'm having a bit of difficulty setting up.

1.) For now my pedal travel is stopped by the table top - no problem this I can rectify later.

2.) Strings 4 and 8: Pedal 2 raises both A's to B's so far so good.

3.) Pedal 2 raises string 1 from a G to a G# and Lowers string 5 to an F#. Here's where I'm having problems.

I can get the G# balanced to within 8 cents and the G to within 8 cents. I don't think my pedal rod is too short, but, I may need helper springs and if so where do I put them. The lower has a spring already but the raise does not. I hope I've explained the problem. If you have questions please ask away.

I'll be grateful for any help I can get.

Sorry I forgot to mention that my changer fingers are a Marlen style with lowers on the left hand side and raises on the right.

If you need photos I'll post.

I did Georg thank you much for asking. I'll be posting pics sometime ( enjoying summer & chasing grand -daughter around - not much time for much extra right now) including my truss rods (just a teaser). Solid little guitar stays in tune well bright clean sound lots of sustain, I love it. Showed it to my mentor last night & he agrees.
