My right knee left lever on my MSA Classic S10, lowers the 6th string a whole step and raises the 1st string a whole step. Lately, the 6th string will not lower all the way down to F#.
I tried loosening the nylon nut and retuning, but could not solve the problem that way. What can I try next? Thanks for any suggestions.

You need more lever travel if possible. Try adjusting the lever stop to allow a bit more travel from the knee lever.

Make sure that the 6th string is returning appropriately- ie.- look underneath the guitar at the changer and see that all return fingers are lined up perfectly. It is not uncommon for a spring to weaken and cause untold headaches.

Look for a broken string end stuck in the changer. JE:-)>

Thanks for the help, gentlemen. I saw some more ideas today on another similar thread. I'll do some more work with it and see if I can find a fix. Larry J.
