I've broken it! Help!

[Rigby]

First rehearsal with a new band, first song and I notice the E raise on my MSA Classic is not working. Look underneath and this has happened:



Is there anyone in Yorkshire way who can fix it? Or failing that give me an idea where I can get the right sort of rod to replace it?

you only need a little bit of 3mm rod any welding shop would give it to you.

Thanks John! I asked the guys on the US steel forum and they said the rod should be dead straight, not have that bend in it at the end, is that right?

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

a straight pull is always going to be better but it did'nt break on the bend did it?

[Rigby]

Looks like it broke in the middle and at the end more or less at the same time.

I will put a couple of bits in the post 4u

[Rigby]

John you are an absolute diamond.

Do PM me the details so I can pay you for the strings!

[Rigby]

All sorted! Thanks so much John.
