Jack, you tune the raise as normal, hold the raise and lower at the same time and tune that "between" or split note with the lowering nylon hex tuning nut in the end of the guitar. Now, hit your lower lever only and you will find that the lowered note is slightly flat. Put a rod in a raise finger hole and run it to the lowering bellcrank so you can slightly raise the lowered string that is flat. If this is unclear email me and I will try again.

Jack - If you have access to a fax machine, I can fax a drawing that Del Mullen gave me. If you don't have access to a fax machine, I'll see if I can scan the drawing and e-mail it to you.

I know a few yrs back someone had the chart for the split tunning when adding the extra rod but I can't remember who it was. If anyone knows I need the info thanks Jack
