CoP18 Inf. 27 – p. 1 Musical Instruments and the Proposed Listing of Cedrela spp. on Appendix II without Annotation Overview: Ecuador has authored a proposal to be considered at the 18th Conference of Parties for listing Cedrela spp. in Appendix II without an accompanying annotation. Lacking an annotation, such a listing would result in an undue administrative burden, have an immediate and deleterious impact on the musical instruments industry and provide little – if any – additional conservation benefit. We strongly feel that an Appendix II listing must be accompanied by an annotation and an appropriate geographic limitation to focus on the conservation of wild populations in its natural range rather than Cedrela spp. cultivated in non-range state plantations.

  • Setting Guitar Intonation Using Your Peterson Tuner

    Setting Guitar Intonation Using Your Peterson Tuner

    Setting Guitar Intonation Using Your Peterson Tuner Before you attempt to tune any stringed instrument, the intonation should be checked and, if necessary, adjusted to the correct position. If you’ve never used a Peterson tuner before, then it is almost certain that your instrument is not yet correctly intonated and will not sound its best until you address it. Now that you have a Peterson, you can achieve professional quality results with the help of the tips below, and the intonation will be the best it can be on your instrument. You’ll need your Peterson tuner, a short guitar cord, a small screwdriver and a set of new strings. Before starting, find a surface upon which to lay your guitar that is free of any objects which could damage your instrument and cover it with a towel or similar soft material. Remember to tune the guitar in the position in which you would normally play it (i.e. around your neck, supported by a strap), but adjust the bridge of the guitar after laying it on a flat surface. If you tune the guitar while it’s laying flat, gravity will affect the tension of the neck and skew the results. If you adjust the bridge while the guitar is hanging from a strap on your shoulder, there is a risk that the guitar’s finish will be damaged by the screwdriver. If possible, take the opportunity to clean the fingerboard after the old strings have been removed. New strings will stay clean and sound good a lot longer if the fingerboard is free of grime and dirt.
