I have a Hudson 8 string and think it is great. It has 3 pedals and 4 knees. Thinking of it as a 10 string, it is missing the 9th and the 1st.

I'm so good at it now that I can sometimes tell when things are out of tune. :) However, one of my fine tuners won't budge. I can feel the plastic twisting, but it's not moving the rod. I don't want to torque it any mor...
