Two Pitchkeys on a Sigma OOOM-15
The Pitch Key Acoustic Demo with Gregg Cagno
Gregg uses 3 Pitch-Keys to switch between E-Standard and DADGBD/DADGAD. He has them on 1st, 2ed and 6th strings.
You may note he uses 1 and half twists to raise piston.
Pitch Keys can not be mounted on adjacent strings at the nut. The second one need to be positioned close to its tuner.
In my case, I wanted the ability to choose Drop-D or G6 tuning, so I have a Pitch Key on the 5th and 6th strings. The 6th string Pitch Key is positioned at the nut, while the 5th string on is positioned near the 5th string peg.
It was not trivial to install the Pitch Key on the 5th without the stability provide by nut. After 6 tries I finally got it.
I had to retune all 3 strings involved of course, but it works nice now..
