I've been tempted to buy one of these...but have worried about the ability of these to exert just the right amount of downward pressure on the strings. Again, too much and we've got strings being pulled sharp...too little and we've got buzzy strings. Is there any ability to tweak the amount of pressure that this exerts on the strings?
