You asked how to set the resonators at the proper height and .....The resonators are tuned to the bars and must be at the proper height. . As the temperature and humidity change, so does the pitch of the bars, (and to a very slight degree the pitch of the resonators)...so you must adjust the "length" of the resonators, including the length of what is called "open end correction"--the distance between the top of the resonator and the bottom of the bar. You ask which way to move the resonators? Ah-ha--here's a test for you.. Try it in both settings now-the upper and lower. Which one sounds better to you?.. Just for fun, try lifting the left end of the natural resonators up and down very slowly with your left hand while you strike a bar or 2 with your right hand. See what happens. Then, as you play in different places at different times, try both settings and use the one that works. That way YOU will learn the relationship between the bars and the resonators.
