How to shape a risha?

Marq - 6-7-2006 at 08:41 AM

Hello. Does anyone have any suggestions on various ways to shape a risha? What is the best shape of the tip for producing a range of tremolos? I've been using fine sandpaper and that seems to work fine, but the risha wears down after a few weeks as the shape changes from friction on the wound strings.
Thanks for any help.
