Is there anything better to do with the knee that lowers the 2nd and 9th string? It just does not seem as useful as my other knee levers. Here is what my other knees do: Raise 4&8 .Lower 4&8. Lower 5&10, Lower 6 raise 1 and 2.

Keith,If you raise your 1st string F# up to G along with that lever that raises 2,and 9 you can do some Bakersfield stuff along with pedals A&B grip strings 4,5 and 1 you'll get that bottle let me down 7th.All you'll need is a short rod and another bellcrank.Hope that I'm not confusing you,Because I'm confusing me.Stu Laughing Laughing

Keith,there are several things you can do with this lever along with the 2nd and 9th lower,1 you can raise the 7th a half tone,nice 7th..or you can lower the 7th string a whole tone(stole this from Gary Carpenter)..cool change,also you can lower 10 a whole tone..just a few i use,but lowering the 2nd a must..JMO..
