Tone Guard not staying in place

[timrobwall]

Over the years the arms seem to have lost some of their tension and Tone Guard winds up twisted around and half off the mandolin. I was about to grab a pair of pliers and just pull the arms tighter, but then I thought maybe I'd see if there might be a different solution out there. Thanks.

I have in the past bent the arms to fit different sized mandolins. Not something you should do every day, but don't see a problem now and then.

It’s called cold forging, aka bending. Good luck!
