You can't have Led Zeppelin, they've already done it.

He The

Always a bit wary of stuff I don't understand, just in case it turns out to be the Horst Wessel Song or something of the sort. Having said which...

A not-very-interesting update: It's more or less stable. I have a suspicion it's getting slightly worse but I can't be sure yet.

Thanks. I will see about a splint.

Thanks for this. I tend to play mostly with my thumb nowadays, but I'll pay attention to the angle.

Freedy Johnston, 'Trouble Tree'.

Thanks. It's maybe a little bit worse, but nothing major.

Sisko Electrofanatik, 'My Realm'

I think it might do both, depending on how tight the winding is. And, good question!

Lowering the pitch seems weird... surely you'd be shortening the effective length of the string? That ought to raise the pitch, surely? The pitch wavering makes sense, because the free-floating solder coil would move and that would change the string length. Did it change the tone of the note? I think it might make it softer, more fretless-ish?

Chris has another feedback thread here:

Chris sold me some strings. All went well and I'm a happy bunny. I'd be happy to deal with him again. Thanks Chris

Talking Heads, 'Remain In Light'. Richard and Linda Thompson, 'I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight'. I keep thinking I've forgotten one (or a dozen) but if I've forgotten them...

Crying out for a defret... I may have to bid on that.

Snakefarm, 'St James'.

Angelique Kidjo, 'Celia'.

Not in Britain at the moment... human waste floating by is routine, just now.
