Dual fulcrum problem

Sun Jul 01, 2018 7:25 am

Hi, this is a problem on my Dual Fulcrum, it's making some noise, little cracks... I can hear them when I bend !
Do you know how I can fix this ?
Thanks !

Sounds like at the very least you need to lubricate the knife edges that the bridge rests against. Something is obviously binding somewhere and that's the most likely suspect but check the springs and spring cavity too.

I'd also rest a finger lightly on each string, in its turn, as you move the bridge to make that noise. Can you feel the popping/cracking in any one string?

Also, check that the strings are not binding in the nut slots. Did you recently change strings and were they the same gauges?

Once you figure out what the issue is and have resolved it, please report back on your fix.

I'd disassemble and inspect the edges etc.
