 hi. I have a dumb question.i have an Emmons p/p, #1144D. I can't lower my 4th string on the e9th. I think it's because the raise is to tight.how do I adjust the raise? is it the spring length? I apologize for my ignorance,but there aren't to many people around here (western Massachusetts) to ask. I thank the good lord I found the forum. thanx. |

| You have the raise on that string set too tight. You have to have some slop in the raise rod in order to make the lower work. |

It's essential that there is enough slack between the 'C' pedal raise bellcrank and the raise rod collar, to allow the string to lower a half-tone

excellent !
PP's can be strange, but if we take a breath and think about it, they are simple. A few weeks back I adjusted the E raise lever so that it limit the flop down when in the case, a very small adjustment prevented the E Lowers from working ! It puzzled me for a few minutes then I realized that the adjustment I made took out the "slop" when the lever was just hanging under the guitar ready for action. I added the "slop" back in and the E Lowers worked perfectly again.
