Question on Hysteresis

[Donny Hinson]

I simply don’t find it a problem when it comes to playing or listening. But I also realize that many players spend lots of time staring at a digital tuner, and even inaudible variations seem to cause concern for them. On most all steels that had what I would call an audibly noticeable amount of hysteresis, I believe the problem could be traced to strings pulling sideways at the nut rollers, or just a lack of lubrication.

My Infinity has little to no hysteresis. The only physically obvious difference with other guitars I've owned is, the diameter of the axle at the nut. It's a mere 0.063". The changer also has bearings where the scissors meets the fingers.

Jim, I'm Very interested in the details of the Infinity changer. Regarding the bearing(s), is there also a bearing rather than just a rivet at the scissor joint, or just a bearing where the raise arm contacts the finger? You wouldn't happen to have a picture (or drawing) of that changer would you? Regards..Mark
