Members fingerwee Posted July 13, 2013 Members Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hello, title may be confusing but I don't know how else to explain thisThis guy seems to have attached some sort of tube to his 7th string,another person who translated the speech said that it has something to do with the tension.Does anybody have an idea what exactly does it do?It's shown at around 11:15 in this video.

Members 1001gear Posted July 13, 2013 Members Share Posted July 13, 2013 It enables toggling between the tuned note and a preset lower note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lz4005 Posted July 13, 2013 Members Share Posted July 13, 2013 First, it's a 6 string. Not 7.Something like a D-Tuna would make sense, but it just looks like a solid piece, no swivel or barrel adjuster or anything you'd need to switch tuning with it. Not that I have any clue what it would be for if it doesn't work like that.Is there any footage of him using it while playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fingerwee Posted July 15, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 15, 2013 Q: whats that tube on the bridge of your 6 string?A: because ive dropped the tuning, i need to increase string tension. I bought it at a spare parts store. This is what the player himself said in the interviewIt would make a lot more sense if somebody found this 'tube' at some guitar-parts store, I have not seen any western online stores providing such stuff.

Members lz4005 Posted July 15, 2013 Members Share Posted July 15, 2013 He may think it does that, but he he is wrong.Extending the behind-the-bridge length of a string does nothing to the tension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
