I had a wound Thomastik-Infeld CF-30 Flat Wound guitar string on one of my concerts for a while, but I found it too "boomy". It overwhelmed the other strings when strummed. I moved it to a Martin Style 3 soprano and its much better! I think the soprano being a smaller instrument doesn't...

did you sell it?

I use this under the head of my banjo to tame some of the highs: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Gel+Grip+Nano+Tape&i=office-products&crid=2V927CP6XRVEV&sprefix=gel+grip+nano+tape%2Coffice-products%2C152&ref=nb_sb_noss Its a lot like that sticky snot stuff they use to hold the labels in disposable...

I would bet that's mostly subjective. As light as piezo disks are, I doubt they would have much effect, and it would probably lower the primary resonance of the top rather than dampen it. Unless the wires have a damping effect. Bu they're pretty light also. I wonder if the piezo cables get...

Some people play both plugged in and acoustic.

Larry goes pretty simple on his string trees, and they just work.

Did you sell jt?

I assume you have sold this, but question: how was the sound? I've heard the electronics are s**...

IDT I ever posted by Hinkle "nukelele" ...

My Style 2, Circa 1920 ...

Sorry you didn't like my soprano stick! I hope it went to a good home.

I wish they would just make 3 hole bridges ...

IDK. But I used Ohta-san to justify putting a wound low-G on my Style 3. Confession: I cannot play like Ohta-san even with the low-G.

I just like to tune up a step when I'm done playing to stretch them and let them settle in

I use some square metal beads from the hobby shop. Plastic or glass ones can shatter under the pressure. (Not saying they WILL shatter, but I have had it happen before I went to the metal ones.)
