Once again, I turn to the forum...
I can't seem to get a tunable split on my 3rd string (C) on my c6th neck. This would be achieved by using pedal 7 and the 1/2 step lwr knee, giving me a c#. When I engage pedal 7 and then hit my knee lever, it lowers to right between c# and D. I can't get it to tune to C# and still have my B with just the knee lvr. If I tune this change, then when I engage the knee without pedal 7, it drops below a B. I think this is possible on my guitar, I just don't know how to go about getting it. I already see many uses for this change, and would like to save newer knee levers for other changes. Any help or related experiences would be greatly appreciated. I play a Mullen royal precision. |

I would call/email Mullen directly and find out how to operate their split tuning feature.
Typically there is a tuner right at the changer finger for string 5 that is used to accomplish this. |

James,
try using the split tuner screw to tune the half step lower on the knee lever first. Then engage the 7th pedal and lever and tune the split(C#) with the nylon tuner you would normally use to tune the 3rd string lower. Hope this helps! |

| Wish I had a split tuner on this thing. Oh well. I'm going to call mullen guitars and talk to them about this. I wonder why this wasn't put into the guitar in the first place. Thanks for the help though guys. |

James,
Simply add a second rod to your lower bellcrank on the C to B pull. Put it through a raise hole.
Now tune the normal lower tuner for the split note. That is, with pedal 7 AND the C to B lever engaged tune the split note (C#) with the "lower" tuner.
Then, engage just the C to B lever and tune the "raise" rod (that you installed) so the B note is in tune.
God bless you with your attempts,
carl |
