Emmons LL3.

What bell-crank holes would give me a faster response? Right now, I have them well away from the X-shaft but it takes forever to push it through to pitch.

Is this particular change particularly stiff, anyway?

Help!

ON my guitars. Bottom hole of the changer {furthest from the axle} and in the center pulls on the bell cranks. It is a long pull for that 6th string and stiffer than any other pull on the guitar.

Thanks, Mark.

I'm in two minds about the FP but, in my opinion, it needs to work with a quick deft touch rather than the herculean task it is now.

I will try your ratios: if it's no better, P4 will be reassigned.

Made a mistake. They drops are in 2nd hole of the lowering options not the one at the furthest point of the axle.

That saves some hassle, Mark; mine are in the second-from-bottom already.
