Re: warbling g string

Joe,
to mute ringing springs, I put some pieces
of cotton wool underneath the springs.

Without cotton wool, I could play a
certain note anywhere on the neck,
damp the strings, and the springs
continued to ring.

The warbling of the g string is
independent of pitch (fretting) and
becomes weaker if I bend the string
(gauge 016, 25.5'' scale).

I'm going to try a .017 or .018 gauge ...
