Talk:Sound post adjustment

Gypsy string?
Several places I've read that Gypsy violinists often kept a piece of string tied around the post, for making adjustments. I've never seen such a thing, but if someone has a credible authority to cite, this would be the article for it... _Just plain Bill 00:56, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Quite possible or it sounds somewhat feasible having done it myself with a purchased positioning tool, a modified coat hanger wire, and dental pick. I still use the dental pick to actually insert a new sound post in an instrument. I have never actually heard this one before I think I will ask a builder over at fiddle forum and see if it is verifiable. *fiddle forum

Image Copyright
A friend on the fiddle forum spotted my article and mentioned copy rights do I need to do some special with an image I assembled out of other images. The friend offered to do it over for me so it wouldn't be an issue. I really just don't fully understand what is or is not required Alan Kroeger 01:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Bill for the help with the file last time I uploaded I didn't spot all the extra parameters on the upload. The very nice and much easier to read file is in place but I think I need to figure out how to do resize tag elements just to see if it can fit better in the articles.

 * Alan, if you want, I'll rework the image, shrink it some, and put it some place where you can find it, maybe even right here. Hey, it's wikipedia, and just about everything is revertible. I've got a couple of days off coming up, so I've got time to do it. best, _Just plain Bill 01:05, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Put it right here Bill why do an extra step it's not like I would be offended or anything like that all you did was help improve the entry :) Alan Kroeger 02:13, 17 January 2007 (UTC)


 * If you're going to change the picture, please do something about that horrendous color scheme and the awful font. How about just a plain black Roman face, like most illustrations 'round heah' use? +ILike2BeAnonymous 02:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Great input! Let me sit with this a while, like a day or two... for now the font is a generic serif pixelation, and the colors somewhat reflect the nature of the changes, as also shown by the arrows found in the original pic. If someone wants to smooth out the font or make other changes, go nuts, sez I. I'm still learning how this GIMP critter works. _Just plain Bill 12:48, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
