wormil replied to Johnny Dollar's discussion first string will not tune (open G) in the group Building a Cigar Box Guitar 101"I still don't understand what "not do" means. Either the string is too tight, too loose or the gear is slipping. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out."

I am doing a detailed write-up of my Flying V Dulcimer Build under my CBN discussion Group "Home Made Resonator Boxes 101, v.2.0". The discussion is titled "My Flying "V" Dulcimer Project". You might want to check it out. I'll be adding to it as the project progresses.
