Thanks, Patrick, for showing your method of stringing. After receiving my custom cherrywood Pisgah 10 months ago, I am feeling more comfortable and confident with her. What a wonderful voice she has with that brass tone ring! 👍 Thank you!

Good! I just purchased a Hawktail tailpiece to replace the no knot on my new Ode 12" one of a kind I got at the Denver Folklore center, This is a great and complete explanation! Thanks!

Hi Patrick, thanks for the video. When I upgraded to my Woodchuck (which I love) I noticed there was no truss rod with which to adjust the action. With my previous, I adjusted in winter and then back again in summer to account for changing bow. Would you consider a video about the best way to adjust action in a Pisgah? Thanks for what you do! Hope to visit some day.

The truss rod is accessed from the heel. I will interested to hear what Patrick has to say about adjusting the truss rod.

Thank you for setting the bridge simply by checking the octave. I never understood all the stuff about making "chimes" at the octave. All you need to do is check the two D strings at the nut and at the 12th fret. There is no need for "chimes" and no need to check the other strings to set the bridge.

Thanks for the video! What did the action height end up at?

You said the measurement was 26" and 3/16th for the 11 inch Possum. What should that measurement be for the 12" Possum?
