You only can do that thing with a Strummo8 top.

I think I've seen Mark do it with a BK, but he broke one of his fingernails because the winding groove snagged it...
Makes me cringe just thinking about it.

Yeah, I only tried that once. I actually learned the trick with a Top Dog,  but it's easier with a Strommol8. I'll be able to do it with a BK as long as the string slot is filled in.
