I used it since the frets are basically perfect and I wanted to pay homage to the bicycle spokes in full.</p> <p>It's a beautiful thing this instrument - having 3 strings is quite an interesting constraint. The playing there is very rough round the edges and not really doing the instrument justice but I exploited my window of opportunity and knocked something out. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20445&page=5#post-345337 Mon, 01 Feb 2021 15:24:03 +0000 I were right about that saddle 345337@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo</p> <p>Yes, seems my nut wasn't quite up to scratch.
