I understand where you're coming from Ed - but on the other hand, this Forum is full of posts by people who bought the instrument they play not only for the sound, but because it feels the way it does. So, I'm trying to find out what that feel amounts to in measurements, and whether or not my mandolin could be making life harder than it need be for lack of some simple adjustments. At one extreme, people like me can end up fiddling with instruments rather than playing them. At the other, an instrument that plays easily makes learning and adapting to it a lot easier . Now, does anyone have any more measurements?
