oh the trouble i have had trying to get that right! many many thanks.... do you put any resin on the wheel as well?

[neil brook]

Not routinely. Rosin is essential for a good sound but too much rosin is the most common cause of a poor tone. Only add a bit of rosin when the lack of response from the strings tells you to.

It seems so simple, but I just couldn't get it right. :D I honestly didn't expect any results when I typed my query into google! Thank you so much! :D
