Default String Ties - brief review

I finally put String Ties in my odd classical guitar that has steel-string style holes instead of a bridge. They work well so far. But getting my hand in there to place them is not easy. This is a non-factor for most players.

Making the knot that runs around the little "tie" or block is quite easy and seems to work well until the big fat E string, where it is a bit of a struggle.
Very niche, this thing, but if you don't like tying strings, this is a practical solution.

I tried a set on my baritone ukulele and liked them.

Three weeks ago I received my new Cordoba 10 Crossover which is my first nylon guitar and will put them on it when I eventually change strings.
