Usually, I can file down an edge of any given saddle this way or that to get a string in near-perfect intonation. However, sometimes there is a string which needs slightly more or less length than the width of a saddle can provide, just another millimeter or less. I often wish saddles were made in somewhat of a T shape so that a tad more compensation could be possible, but no such saddle is available.
With only a few hand tools available, could a person carve, file and sand such a piece out of bone? If so, what bone would work best?
Or . . . Could I simple superglue a tiny piece of bone/saddle/whatever in the desired place, then file it and the saddle down to get the length I need?
I hope the way I've described this issue and possible solution is clear. Any help is welcome.
