Creak, what creak?
Wayne,
I feel guilty for taking so long to reply, because you have been so generous with your ideas and knowledge. I've spent that last three days trying to find the optimum sitting position, as this could be a way to minimise the noise for recording. I've tried all sorts of heights and finally decided that the best stool height is probably one that has the end pin at the same height for both sitting and standing - allowing easy cross over to both ways of playing.
The funny thing is that, today, the creaking seems to have disappeared. This has happened before, so I'm not holding my breath. Maybe I'm doing something different when I stand?
Thanks, my friend, I'll keep you updated when old Mr Creak returns.
Hey, if Edgar uses dots, they're okay by me. Personally I like my ear close to the string, but I'm not silly enough to argue wih him!
