Dear all, this thread led me to re-read Segerman's article on his website at http://www.nrinstruments.demon.co.uk/LuSt.html Apparently he is postulating low tension stringing and close to the bridge playing for years. However, lowering the pitch with nylon stringing to my ears and fingers still doesn't give a good result when playing _very_ close to the bridge. :-(
