And to sharpen the open note, you could put pressure in the middle but underneath.
It works on a guitar!
I would have thought putting pressure on the top and pressing down would flatten the note and putting pressure on the back and pressing up would sharpen it. It works on other stringed instruments I can think of, but you're right, probably best not to do it too often with a delicate instrument! If either of you play the electric guitar, think about how you press down in the middle of the guitar as hard as you can - on the front to flatten the chord and from the back to sharpen it.
When I gripping my nuts tightly I definitely get a higher noise.
