[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes Rigging

[Graham Stewart]

All turnbuckles have both a righhand and left handed threads. Otherwise
when tightened one end would move up the thread while the opposite end
would loosen.
Just don’t do what I did, many years ago, and retread the turnbuckle in the
wrong direction.
