Of course the reference to the size of Sorcha's knobs was a double-entendre. I specifically stated (1) that I could not give exact dimensions to assure that the suggested method would solve her problem, with the double intent of implying (2) that with direct observation of her own knobs she should be able to tell whether the suggested method would lead to an appropriate disposition of any current difficulty she might have with them.

Obviously, had I not had full faith and confidence in her ability to recognize the appropriate and pertinent features and characteristics of her knobs, and to adapt her usage and adjustment of her knobs and of accessories and tools for their optimal employent and deployment in a manner to obtain the fullest and most effective use of all their features, (with due attention to specifically applicable limitations should there be any), I would certainly have attempted to provide adequate and appropriate supplementary suggestions.

I am quite sure that Sorcha knows her own knobs much more intimately than any of those of us to whom they are not accessible for direct and close-up, hands-on observation, which quite obviously would provide the most favorable situation for providing complete and accurate (technical) comment.

My limited observation of her knobs, from photos only of course, indicates that they are fully adequate for what they should do, and her solution to the recently indicated difficulty should be more than satisfactory and should contribute greatly to her own pleasure and to the enjoyment of those with whom she fiddles.
