Thanks so much for these suggestions. I decided to stick with the wound string (mostly because that's what's there) and to move to a different hole on the crank further from the crossrod. I didn't go all the way to the last hole but instead moved away hole by hole until I liked the feel, and it comp...

Thanks so much for these suggestions! I'm not at home now, so can't check it, but it seems the string gauge is probably the issue.

I'm also interested if it's still available. PM sent.
