| Generally the tighter the better (up to a
point). Tight enough to significantly raise the upper wing of the ff.
(Somewhat counter-intuitive.) Getting the G to sound good is
7/8ths of the process. This is accomplished with lateral
adjustments of the post (tightening). The sound quality produced
by the G, and the general physical responsiveness of the instrument are
effected by these changes in lateral position.
The remaining 1/8th (the remaining 3 strings) are
adjustments that are done through superior-inferior adjustments of
position, and are viewed mainly as a fine tuning process once the
quality of the G is established. |
