Twizzle issues.

[Al Nico]

Hi.

I believe in honest analysis and judgement of one's performances in order to adjust and improve.

I'm also a great believer in health and safety and have cleared my house of furniture in order to perform 'The Zip' where appropriate.

Since the clearance, I've frequently noticed my instrument cable twisted into knots, and on further analysis notice that I'm rotating anti-clockwise during rehearsal.

I've checked the sink and bath and they drain water in the other direction of spin, proving it's not universal forces.

All I'm left with is that I'm either trying to get round the front on the fretboard, or trying to get away from the cable?

Has anyone else experienced this and do you know what causes it?

 

I've attached an image to help identify the issue.

Go wireless, problem solved.

I tidy cales away using the 'figure of eight' method; I finish by lifting it up from each side (left and right...), and put a Velcro band around it to keep it as a loop. No tangles, no twists. Works with all types of cables, and garden hoses. Hope this helps.

Thank you. I'm ok with cable management in general, the cable is more of an indicator to the deeper problem of moving in circles.

Good call. I remember first seeing this technology on TOTP where instruments seemed to have no cable. We used to think there were mining, but it was probably HF radio transmission.

I'd be very interested, but I know it's going to involve a battery that always needs charging. Grr.

They're so cheap these days, buy 2 sets, then keep them charged.  If one runs out, you've got the second set to fall back on while you charge the first.
