ADDED NOTES AFTER I RELEASED THIS VIDEO: I forgot to mention…When tuning, it’s good to bang the note to help the note settle and make sure it’s not going to flatten as soon as you play a louder piece. Added notes from tuners: 1. Loosening the string before tightening it also releases the string's tension from all its different points of friction (bridge pin, hitch pin, agraffe, capo bar, etc) so it is then easier to move and settle accordingly. 2. It’s better to start tuning with the lever somewhat parallel to the strings, to make the string settle better. Arm should be at a right angle to the lever, putting you in a better position to turn the whole pin rather than just the head. 3. Don’t bend the pins…rotation only. No up or down movement on the lever. 4. Hit the note more frequently than I did in the video. Mo is better. 5. Some say that sticking the wedge in between the strings can damage the dampers. To avoid such damage, raise the damper for the note first, and then stick the wedge in.
