MSA Millennium problem on my C6 neck.
The 4th string A will detune when trying to tune the 7th pedal to the B with the hex.
The steel is an Emmons setup. The LKL to Ab and the LKR to Bb has the same problem on the 4th string. Adjusting the hex on any of them detunes the Open A. I've made sure the split screw is not engaged.
Thanks in advance for any solutions.

Danny, I'm guessing the pulls cause the open A to return sharp? If so. You need more throw in the pulls. You'll need to connect higher in the bell-cranks. One notch should do it. Before doing this. Make sure you have the correct gauge string. As for the lower. The split tuner nut could be holding you off? Also check and see that the lower return spring has the correct tension.
There's other things to check. These are the first things that come to mind. |

Sounds like you need to let out the pedal stop set screw a bit. You can find it under the pedal height adjuster wheel. There are 4 holes in the wheel, use a 1/16" hex and line up one of the small holes with the set screw under it. Turn it counter clockwise.about half a turn and see if that helps. Adjust to taste.
Best regards, Mitchell |
