__________________
Installing Bass Strings to Tuners....
String is threaded through tuner
roller,
with waste side extending on top of
the headstock.
While pulling string to moderate
tension,
waste end is wrapped around
playing side about four times.
Wraps are uniform with no slack.
Tension is increased until fourth wrap has reached roller.
This string is about one-half roller turn away from full pitch.
At this point, waste area of string is trimmed.
__________________
Installing Treble Strings to Tuners....
Procedure is repeated,
except waste end of string is
wrapped six times instead of four.
Notice the winding on rollers
is
in the direction of corresponding tuner knobs.
(Bass strings wind to the bottom of
the picture, Treble strings wind to the top.)
This will allow the strings to
travel from the fingerboard nut
to the rollers without touching the
headstock.
This method of attaching strings to the tuners is extremely effective in preventing string slippage. It also reduces the massive settling of tensions found when players over-wrap their tuners, which would result in more stretching and tuning.
